According to court records obtained by The Post and Courier, John Gallman, who lost an election four years ago for a Horry County seat is suing state Reps. Lee Hewitt and Chris Murphy. Both lawmakers are also Republicans.

Gallman alleges that the man defamed him and inflicted "emotional distress" in April of this year.
