"Cathy and I make these decisions together. We believe Newt Gingrich is the right choice for South Carolina, and for the United States," Harrell said in a statement the Gingrich campaign released.

Harrell was elected to the South Carolina House in 1992, and was elected speaker of the House in 2005. He owns an insurance business in Charleston, where he lives with his wife, Cathy, and two children.
