SC State House Representative Carl Gullick (R) of York County, stated that he will be leaving his post. His wife is a physician and is currently working at a hospital in KY and wants to move to there to be with her. Gullick is known as a progressive Republican and is respected by others. His departure has shown the level of good will both parties have for him. This, however, will open up a possible run for a viable democrat from the Fort Mill Area. Whomever the democrats decide to run, the candidate will have to be a middle of the road blue dog democrat. Fort Mill is a heavy Republican strong hold. The election for this seat will be interesting.
