On Tuesday, January 11, citizens of the City of Charleston residing in Council District 1 - which includes Daniel Island, Cainhoy, and parts of the downtown historic area roughly bordered between Calhoun, Broad and King Streets, and the harbor – will go to the polls to elect a new councilperson to fill the seat vacated by Marie Delcioppo when she resigned on Oct. 13, 2021. Five local residents are vying for the nonpartisan position.

A candidate forum has been scheduled for Sunday, January 9, starting at 5 p.m. at the Daniel Island Club, 600 Island Park Drive, Daniel Island. The January 9 forum is sponsored by the Charleston County Republican Party.

The candidates - Tony Fogle, Jen Gibson, Boyd Gregg, Shawn Pinkston, and David Winkler - are expected to attend the forum and share their views with voters. The forum will be moderated by Kelly Golden.
