Charleston City Councilmember Marie Delcioppo today released the following statement on her decision to step down from Charleston City Council:
“Serving the citizens of District One on Charleston City Council has been one of the great honors of my life and a genuine labor of love. Due to a recent health challenge, however, I have made the decision to step aside and make room for a new representative who is able to give this important job the attention it deserves. As I move through this transition, I want to thank everyone, citizen and colleague alike, who has worked so hard to keep our city safe and strong over these past two years. It has been my privilege to serve the residents of Charleston, and I look forward to continuing that work as a private citizen in the days ahead.”
In accordance with South Carolina law, a special election for the seat will be held on January 11th, 2022, and the candidate filing period will run from October 29th, 2021 at 12 pm to November 8th, 2021 at 12 pm.
