“SC’s GOP governor candidates will debate next week. Not everyone is committing. What now? COLUMBIA — The S.C. Republican Party next week will host the first of a series of debates between its party’s candidates for governor, but with seven days to go it’s unclear which of the six declared candidates will show up. While candidates Ralph Norman, a member of Congress, and Attorney General Alan Wilson have already punched their tickets to attend the April 1 event in Newberry, candidates Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and millionaire activist Rom Reddy have already publicly indicated they are unlikely to show up. They’ve citing issues ranging from sponsorship prices for attendees to the fundraising criteria party leaders are requiring for them to appear onstage. U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace is currently uncommitted to participate after a late February statement accusing the party of a “botched” rollout , adding she would be willing to participate in an alternative event. Mace’s team did not respond to a request for comment on her current status by press time March 24.” • SCGOP to hold governor debate with just half the candidates

“What happens next? The SCGOP debates are not likely to be the only head-to-head forum candidates will have. Special interest groups like the Palmetto Family Council have announced their own events in the coming weeks, while South Carolina Public Radio and Educational Television confirmed to The Post and Courier last week that they are planning debates of their own. “Right now we’ve extended initial invitations to candidates, letting them know we plan to host a debate before the primary,” Landon Masters, a spokesperson for SCETV, said in a statement. Ahead of the April 1 debate, party leaders expressed regret that several of the top candidates appear to be on the sidelines. “Sometimes campaigns decide that it's in their best interest to avoid high-visibility debates with other candidates, but it's certainly not what's best for Republicans who want to compare the candidates as they consider who to support, Drew McKissick, chairman of the state party, said in a statement to The Post and Courier.”
