114.04 Filling vacancies.—Except as otherwise provided in the State Constitution, the Governor shall fill by appointment any vacancy in a state, district, or county office, other than a member or officer of the Legislature, for the remainder of the term of an appointive officer and for the remainder of the term of an elective office, if there is less than 28 months remaining in the term; otherwise, until the first Tuesday after the first Monday following the next general election |
According to the Sumter County website, there was a vacancy in District 5 so I am assuming this is how he was appointed.
Diane Spencer was appointed to the position in March of this year but resigned about two weeks later because of medical issues.
