Where to vote, who's on the ballot in Honea Path's special election for mayor
The special election was necessary following the resignation of former Mayor Christopher Burton on April 15.
Burton was elected in 2019 and won reelection in 2023; his second term would have ended in 2027, but he stepped down due to an increased workload at Greenville Technical College, making it difficult for him to fulfill his duties as mayor.
In the interim, town council member Jim Taylor was sworn in as mayor pro tem.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Early voting for this election concluded on July 11.
Three candidates are running in the special election: Jimmy Smith, Luther Moon, and Tina Marie Scott.
Here is a brief overview of the candidates running in the upcoming special mayoral election.
Jimmy Smith was born and raised in the town of Honea Path and has deep roots in the community.
He has been married to Marsha (Davis) Smith for 30 years, and together they have been active participants in local events and initiatives.
Smith is committed to managing capital assets through a planned, systematic approach, including lease purchases, strict budget planning, and adherence to state compliance regulations.
Luther Moon is a combat veteran, horseman, and businessman who is running for mayor with a focus on bringing accountability, smart growth, and respect for Honea Path's roots.
As president of the Honea Path Merchants Association and founder of Honea Path Young Entrepreneurs, Moon has played a role in revitalizing Main Street through festivals, local events, and youth mentorship programs.
In a statement, Moon stated that his campaign is not about politics. "It's about taking back our voices, building a future with transparency, fairness, and real accountability."
"Whether you're a merchant, a parent, a student, or a retiree, your voice matters," Moon said. "As Mayor, I'll work to build a future we can all be proud of by listening to the people, restoring transparency, and bringing the town we love back to life from the inside out."
Tina Marie Scott, who has dedicated 32 years to teaching in public schools, is once again vying for the mayoral seat in Honea Path.
Previously, she ran against former Mayor Christopher Burton in 2023. During that race, Burton won with 57.8% of the vote, defeating Scott, who received 41.1%, with 1.10% of the vote coming from write-in votes.
Despite her previous loss, Scott is back on the ballot for the upcoming special election.
"If I'm elected mayor," Scott said, "I'd like to expand our youth programs to include mentoring, community service, town beautification projects, and leadership opportunities. These programs can teach responsibility, build pride in our town, and connect young people with positive role models."

I only work 3 days a week during the summer. The rest of the week, I'm offline and enjoying time with my kids.
I've long adapted my career to my children's schedule, and the summer is no different. Since they are now at home all summer, I asked my boss if I could work only three days a week. My boss agreed, so now I spend my other two days enjoying summer with my kids. I've been lucky enough to have a flexible career as a digital director. I'm a contract worker, which has always given me great flexibility, especially while raising my kids. My career has adapted to my kids' schedules at each stage of their development. For example, I could only work through pre-K hours, and when my youngest went to kindergarten, I worked all five workdays. I worked that full-time contract role for one year after my youngest started kindergarten. However, this summer I decided to change my schedule again: I now work only three days a week in the office and spend the other two days at home with my kids (ages 6 and 8) offline. I simply asked my boss for an accommodating schedule I have a history of getting stuff done. When I had surgery, traveled, or had to deal with a sick kid, my deadlines were always met. Since I'm a proven contractor, my boss allowed me to reduce my schedule to three days this summer — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and stay home the other two. "As long as everything gets done," my boss said. We agreed the new schedule would not affect my pay because I'm a contract employee. After that, I had to inform the rest of the team of my new schedule, which I announced at the next management meeting. I also had to tell my subordinates. I ensured they knew they could reach me via email or text if it's an emergency. There's no animosity because I have to pick up weekend slack, and I bear the responsibility they prefer to avoid. In return, I get to come and go as I please, work from home, and attend all my kids' events without counting up PTO. Being home with my kids during the summer is worth it I get two days home with my kids, plus holidays and weekends. We usually start our home days — or as they call them, "Mommy days" — by picking up and doing a few chores. I run laundry and do the dishes; they pick up their rooms and do a simple chore like bringing in eggs or taking out the trash. Next, we decide what kind of day we're going to have. Maybe they have a friend over, perhaps they want to play in the backyard, or, if it's an open evening, we'll do something more fun and take an adventure. We might head to a splash pad, swim, hit up a park out of town, go golfing, or visit out-of-town family members. We've gone on train rides, visited museums, and spent the night at my friends' houses with similarly aged kids. As my kids have gotten older, we've become more flexible about what we can do and how long we can be away. It's a privilege to spend this time with my kids during the summer. While it requires some extra work on my part, it's all worth it for that extra summer fun with my boys. Read the original article on Business Insider Solve the daily Crossword

NXP second-quarter revenue falls 6%
(Reuters) -Chipmaker NXP Semiconductors posted a 6% drop in second-quarter revenue on Monday, led by weakness in communications and infrastructure segment amid broader market softness. NXP's revenue for the second quarter fell 6.4% to $2.93 billion, although it still narrowly beat analyst expectations of $2.90 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. NXP's chips are used for high-speed digital processing utilized in sectors such as automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications and the Internet of Things (IoT). The shares of the company fell 5% in trading after the bell. Revenue from its communication and infrastructure segment fell 27% to $320 million in the quarter. Industrial and IoT revenue fell 11%, while the automotive segment was flat. For the third quarter, the company expects revenue to be between $3.05 billion and $3.25 billion, the midpoint of which is above analysts' estimates of $3.07 billion.
