Democrat nominated for SC schools chief
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A former federal education official has won the Democratic nomination to be South Carolina's superintendent of education. Republicans will need a runoff to choose their nominee.
Greenville attorney Frank Holleman defeated college dean Tom Thompson on Tuesday in the Democratic primary.
Holleman served as chief of staff and deputy U.S. secretary of education under former South Carolina Gov. Dick Riley, who was President Bill Clinton's education secretary.
Newberry College President Mick Zais is advancing to a June 22 runoff on the Republican side. His opponent was not immediately known.
The other Republicans include homeschooling mother Elizabeth Moffly.
The candidates are vying to succeed Jim Rex, who lost a Democratic gubernatorial bid Tuesday.

8 candidates compete to become SC schools chief
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Six Republicans and two Democrats are competing to become South Carolina's top educator.
The Republicans in Tuesday's primary are a former school district superintendent, a mother who home-schooled her four children, a college professor, a high school teacher, a band director and a college president.
The Democrats include a former federal education official and a college dean. Both oppose efforts to use taxpayer money to help parents afford private school tuition.
All the Republicans back subsidizing private schools except for high school band director Glenn Price.
The candidates are competing to succeed Jim Rex, who is running for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
