James Island Public Service District Commissioner Eugene Platt said he will try again next year to win the state House District 115 seat, but will run as a Green Party candidate this time.

Platt lost the 2008 Democratic primary to current District 115 Rep. Anne Peterson Hutto, and later lost a court challenge to remain on the November 2008 ballot as a candidate from another party.

Platt said that if he was elected, he will fight for working families by ending South Carolina's status as a "Right to Work" state, a move that would make it easier for labor unions to form here.
