2nd Congressional District
Following the 1930 Census, South Carolina lost a congressional district due to redistricting. The 2nd congressional district was split between the 1st congressional district and the old 7th congressional district. Incumbent Democratic Congressmen Butler B. Hare and Hampton P. Fulmer were placed in the same district and Hare opted to retire rather than run against Fulmer in the newly constituted 2nd congressional district. Fulmer defeated Asbury Francis Lever in the Democratic primary and Republican challenger D.A. Gardner in the general election.
