CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) -
A Lowcountry representative is throwing his name in the hat for the Congressional 1st District seat left vacant by now-Senator Tim Scott.
Raycom South Carolina Bureau Reporter Jody Barr said District 110 Representative Chip Limehouse confirmed he would be running for Scott's seat. Scott was sworn in as Jim DeMint's replacement in the United States Senate earlier this month.

Additionally, Limehouse serves as chairman of the Charleston County Aviation Authority.
