No Republican stepped forward to run against Democratic State Senator Tony Hill this week. But a member of the conservative Constitution Party did file and pay the fee needed to appear on the ballot.
His name is Louis Tart and he was previously planning to run against Congressman John Mica this year. But for whatever reason, perhaps a lack of funds to pay the qualifying fee, Tart has opted to take on Senator Hill.
The district is overwhelmingly Democrat and largely African-America. It is unlikely that Tart will be able gain much more than 20% of the vote come November.
