Today is an exciting day for our movement to restore real leadership to South Carolina!

As you may have heard, this morning my hometown newspaper here in Camden, the Chronicle-Independent, reported that I have officially kicked off my campaign for governor. 

After early television and and radio interviews with stations around our state, we held our official grand opening for our Statewide Campaign Headquarters.

I’ve been traveling the state preparing for this day, speaking with hundreds of South Carolinians who are eager to restore leadership and vision to our state. I’ve been working hard to spread our message of getting our state moving again, and the hard work is paying off.

Today in Columbia I held a press conference outlining my plan to bring quality jobs to South Carolina, and to restore prosperity to our state.

I’m running for governor because I know we can bring South Carolina’s economy back from the brink and create jobs here again.  We can be successful, but only if we have real leadership committed to attracting businesses, new development and good jobs to our state.

I wanted to share with you my bold vision for our future prosperity.

I look forward to hearing from you as I continue to travel our great state, and I look forward to your support in getting our state moving again and realizing our tremendous potential.

Yours,
