 Massey retains Senate seat, Anderson concedes web posted November 5, 2008 COUNTY – The Senate District 25 race between two Edgefield candidates was thought to be a lot closer than things turned out. Though not official, early ballot counts show Republican Shane Massey retaining his seat in the state Senate. “We’re really excited,” Sen. Massey said late Tuesday night. “We had a great team of supporters that got out there and worked hard.” According to projected counts, Sen. Massey won Edgefield County with over 800 votes, “and we ran big numbers in the Valley,” in Aiken County, Massey said, with an additional 2,700 vote advantage. McCormick County showed the two candidates in a dead heat giving Massey only a five vote lead there. Results in Saluda County were not available at press time; however, with the comfortable lead Sen. Massey said he had already received a concession call from Democrat challenger Greg Anderson by 10pm. Greg Anderson said later, “I want to thank all those that voted and supported me and my campaign, but Shane is our Senator now and we all need to get behind him and support him. I gave it my best shot, but this is his day and I want him to enjoy it.” Anderson said he has no hard feelings towards Sen. Massey and looked forward to meeting with him personally to offer his support and discuss issues important to the residents of District 25. Both candidates are residents of Edgefield and said they would remain on the friendly terms they possessed with each other prior to the campaign. Anderson said, “There have been a lot of good things happening” in Sen. Massey’s life recently, including the birth of their daughter, “and I am really happy for him.” ©
