Dwight has been a formidable opponent whose smarts, expertise, and vast knowledge of South Carolina government brought great perspective and ideas to the table in this race.  I greatly respect his service to our country in Vietnam, his service to our state as an advisor to Governor Riley, and I look forward to working with him to tackle the many challenges facing South Carolina.

Every day new people across South Carolina are joining our effort to get our state moving in the right direction.  We're laying the groundwork of a winning campaign, and as your next governor, I will make it my mission to help restore hope for all of the people of South Carolina by recruiting well-paying jobs, improving our schools, and working with you to make South Carolina a better place to live.
