Stumbo to Announce Run for Attorney General at Laurens County Museum Tuesday

Eighth Circuit Solicitor David Stumbo will make a major announcement Tuesday evening, September 16, at the Laurens County Museum, where he is expected to officially declare his candidacy for Attorney General of South Carolina.

Local residents, community leaders, and media are expected to attend.
