Republicans sweep races for Spartanburg County Council

With ongoing community agitation over the issue of data center developments, it's a season of change for the Spartanburg County Council . The Republican Party, however, will maintain its grip on local political offices. There will be a new council chair, Republican William Crawford , and three new district representatives -- GOP nominees Jason Seay, Betty Montgomery and Alex Turner. In the GOP primary for District 2, Seay defeated incumbent Jack Mabry, and Turner ousted Jessica Coker in District 6. Montgomery won the District 5 Republican primary to replace Bob Walker, who did not seek another term.

He cited the controversy surrounding Project Spero, the code name for a tax incentive package for a data center project that was initially green-lighted but ultimately rejected by council.
