County Councilman Derrek Pugh was recently elected chair of the Membership Committee for the S.C. Coalition of Black County Officials (SCCOBCO), a group that works to ensure minority county officials have the resources to help lead their respective counties.
Pugh, who is in his second year of his first term serving District 2 on Richland County Council, said he was honored to earn the position with the state coalition so early in his political career.
“As a sophomore elected official in Richland County, it’s huge for my colleagues on the state level to see leadership within me and elect me to chair of the Membership Committee,” Pugh said.
