Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I'm writing simply to say thank you.  I want you to know how much I appreciate the time, energy, encouragement, and financial support you've offered our family throughout these past nine months of campaigning.  We will continue to rely on your support through the June 8 gubernatorial primary.  We can't do this without you.

Yesterday we made a thank you video here in our headquarters.  You can check it out below.  (Over the coming months, we'll be posting regular video updates like this one.)


As I reflect on how blessed my family and I are to have a warm meal to look forward to tomorrow, I'm mindful that there are many in South Carolina who are far less fortunate.  Last Friday we learned that South Carolina's unemployment rate rose to 12.1% -- among the highest in the country, a deplorable distinction we've maintained for too long.  This number has doubled in the last eight years, and these aren't just statistics.  These are families in our communities whose Thanksgiving dinner may be meager tomorrow.  They deserve better.

Working together, we can restore South Carolina's promise.  But we're only going to fulfill the potential of our great state if we have a vested interest in each other and work together for our common good -- not just during the holidays but all year round.

Thank you again for your support, and have a safe and happy holiday. 

From our family to yours,

Vincent, Amy, Austin, Joseph, and Anthony
