Latest News
Richard Hricik is in the news because he is the Democratic nominee for South Carolina attorney general and will face the Republican nominee in the November general election. The race is still unsettled on the GOP side, with a runoff set to decide who will oppose him after no candidate won a majority in the primary. Recent coverage has focused more on the broader South Carolina Republican contests than on Hricik himself, so there are few new details about his campaign.
