| Description | Platt, 74, says he will not be embarrassed as long as he gets at least 10 percent of the vote against Republican former Gov. Mark Sanford and Democratic businesswoman Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
That may be an ambitious goal given the shape of the race.
While Platt was included in earlier forums during primary season, he has been relatively invisible in recent weeks, partly because he has not been invited to any candidate forums.
Asked about the snub, he says “not only is it frustrating, but also angering.”
Such forums provide Platt one of his main avenues to introduce himself to voters because he doesn’t expect to raise or spend more than $5,000 on the race.
Platt says most of his campaign is reaching out to personal contacts he has and using social media.
Platt ran for the 1st District seat as a Democrat but lost that 1990 election to incumbent Republican Arthur Ravenel. |
