KATRINA SHEALY in the State

State Senate District 23
​
​In the southern part of Lexington County, state Sen. Katrina Shealy – one of only two women now in the state Senate – handily defeated two challengers for the District 23 seat.
​
“I’m proud of what we’ve done so far, but I’m looking forward to doing more,” said Shealy, who advocated for children while sitting on a state Senate panel that investigated the embattled Department of Social Services.

Shealy defeated general contractor Michael Sturkie and Patricia Wheat, who owns a telephone and internet services company.
