Bubba Trippe
Incumbent Bubba Trippe is running for Colleton County Council in Walterboro, South Carolina. The election was held on June 9, 2026.
To The Citizens of Colleton County:
Without hesitation I am seeking reelection for Colleton County Council. I will be running the Western District after long time Councilman Steve Murdaugh decide to retire after 28 years. What a great Councilman and he will be truly missed. I will be running the Western District after spending my first term in the At Large Seat. The Western District means so much to me because I was born and raised in the Western District of Colleton County. I was raised by my mom, Elise Givens Trippe along with my two sisters Betty Anne and Claudette. I have lived in Colleton County my entire life and raised my family here.
I graduated from Bells High School and served 13 years in the National Guard. I started with Palmetto Rural Telephone Company as an installer and met hundreds of families in their homes in all parts of Colleton County. I spent 35 years with PRTC and served as Construction Supervisor until I retired. During my career, I dealt with families, businesses owners, and managed dozens of people. I learned the importance of listening to and communicating with people on all levels. I currently work for Brice Herndon Funeral Home as a funeral assistant. I am blessed to be able to serve my community by helping families in their time of need and grief.
I have been married to Sandra Smith Trippe for 52 years and we have two children: Shelby and her husband Nic Segura and Campbell Trippe. We have four Grandchildren: Camden Segura, Caylen Segura, Ava Trippe and Grayson Trippe. My family means everything to me. They are all residents of Colleton County, so I have a vested interest in improving our community for future generations. My family and I attend Pine Grove Baptist Church where I serve as a deacon and trustee for my church.
I have enjoyed doing volunteer work for several organizations. I volunteered with the March of Dimes for years while working at PRTC and was name South Carolina Coastal Division volunteer of the year twice. One of my co-workers nominated me for the WCSC Channel 5 Hall of Fame and I was inducted as a result. After retiring, I served on the Colleton Count Rice Festival Board and became chairman. Over the years the committee has worked hard to improve the Rice Festival, and it was recognized as being in the top 20 festivals in the southeast. I was named Volunteer of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce, and I was also chosen as Civitan Citizen of the year. I had the honor in 2021 to serve as the Grand Marshall for Walterboro Christmas Parade and in 2025 I was honored again to be selected to be Grand Marshall of 50th year of the Colleton County Rice Festival.
I plan on keeping out taxes low, bringing more good paying jobs and keeping our schools at a high level so our children education or some of the best in our state.
I promise the citizens of Colleton County that I will never forget that I work for you and your family. I will dedicate my efforts to deliver the goals you want to see completed. I will listen to you, and I will always remember you are the boss. I have lived here all of my life with my family, and I love Colleton County and the people who live here. It will be my honor to serve you as your County Councilman.
I am committed to this promise I made in 2022 and I will not waiver from that in 2026. “I WILL BE THE VOICE FOR ALL”. I know we are heading in the right direction, and I am excited to see what we can accomplish the next four years. I humbly ask for your vote.
