Add two more Republicans to the mix of candidates for South Carolina governor. State Sen. Larry Grooms of Berkeley, S.C., confirmed to CQ Politics this week that he is officially a candidate. He said he likely will have an official campaign launch this summer, and in the meantime will be working to build up his campaign infrastructure.

State Rep. Nikki Haley , meanwhile, said this week that she is considering the race but has not yet made a decision.
