Joe Cunningham has chosen Tally Parham Casey, a civil litigator who flew fighter jets during three combat tours over Iraq, to be his running mate in his quest to become South Carolina's first Democratic governor in 20 years.
“She’s one of the most impressive people that I’ve ever met," said Cunningham, who previewed his lieutenant governor pick for The Associated Press ahead of a formal announcement Monday. “She's fought for our freedoms abroad, and she wants to continue fighting for those freedoms, so that's why I put her on the ticket, and she's agreed to do it.”
