Today Leon Stavrinakis through his hat in the ring to run for the District 119 seat in the South Carolina Statehouse. District 119 spans Charleston (West Ashley) to Kiawah and Seabrook Islands. Stavrinakis will seat as Chairman of the Charleston County Council to run for the seat. Mr. Stavrinakis, a Democrat, will face Republicans JG Altman and former Charleston City Councilmen Greg Hart. This makes for a very interesting race because the Republican vote could very well be split by having two Republicans facing a moderate, pro-business Democrat in the race.
(Breaking news: John Graham Altman will not seek reelection for Seat 119.)
Personal: Leon Stavrinakis is a 2nd generation American, Charleston native and local lawyer. His family owns Manny's Greek Restaurants. Stavrinakis will run to improve education reform, better growth management and property tax relief.
