YCDP TV 53: Six Candidate Forum
In this episode we hear from six Democratic candidates for office in 2026:
Sylvia Wright, running for Superintendent of Education
Mallory Dittmer, running for Congress
US House in the South Carolina 5th
that’s the seat that Ralph Norman gave up to run for Governor, so it’s an open seat… no incumbent
Jason Belton, running for Secretary of State
Tiffany Boozer, running for Comptroller General
We did an extended interview with Tiffany during the Primary
DeShawn Blanding, running for Commissioner of Agriculture
We had a long talk with DeShawn during the Primary as well
Jenny Desch, running for State House in South Carolina District 26
if your Zip Code is 29715, she’s your candidate
Before we hear from the candidates, host/producer Gary Pearce talks about the two Special Election/Primaries coming up in August and September for some York County voters, and he discusses a vision issue 👁 he's having that's keeping him from attending and recording events and forums. He'll have a partial cornea transplant in early August that will hopefully correct the issue 🤞.
Our thanks to Lacy Layne for providing this video. It was recorded on July 8 at an event called the Fort Mill Forum, but as you can see, five of the six candidates will be on the ballot for all of York County.
