Deb Morrow and Jeff Sumeral met constituents Monday evening to talk politics in the 4th Congressional District.
On Monday evening, Democratic candidate Deb Morrow and Jeff Sumerel, who is loosely affiliated with the Green Party, told an intimate crowd at the Greenville Public Library they were too polite to talk to an empty chair during a candidate forum in the 4th Congressional District Monday night.
