COLUMBIA - South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler issued the following statement today in response to Governor Mark Sanford's admission during a press conference to having an extramarital affair.
"Our thoughts are with the Governor's family at this time. Mark Sanford should be given time to focus on his family right now. There will be other opportunities in the weeks ahead to discuss his effectiveness as our state's governor," Fowler said in a news release.
Sanford told reporters Wednesday he's been having an affair with a woman from Argentina and will resign as head of the Republican Governors' Association.
