Gov. Henry McMaster Suspends Oconee County Councilman Matthew Durham
Following the indictment of Oconee County Councilman Matthew Durham (right), Governor Henry McMaster today issued Executive Order 2022-15, suspending Durham from office.
Durham has been charged with second degree domestic violence and unlawful neglect of a child.
The Governor’s Office says Durham “is suspended until such a time as he is formally acquitted or convicted, or until a duly elected successor is qualified and takes the oath of office.”
