Jim Rex
From Ballotpedia
Jim Rex (born November 21, 1941) is the 16th and current South Carolina Superintendent of Education. Rex, who is a Democrat, was sworn into the office on January 10, 2007 after a cliffhanger of an election in 2006, where he edged out Republican Karen Floyd by just 455 votes.
On September 15, 2009, Rex announced that he was running for Governor of South Carolina in a crowded field seeking to replace Mark Sanford.[1]. Rex lost in the primary to Vincent Sheheen by a margin of 59.0% to 23.0%.
Campaign fundraising
Rex raised $117,300 for his 2010 gubernatorial campaign from September-December 2009. His Democratic competitors Vincent Sheheen and Dwight Drake both raised more in the same quarter of 2009.[2]
