ICYMI: Cunningham Decries Dark Money, But Benefits From New Dark Money Ads

We wanted to flag a recent article that highlights how Joe Cunningham, who has touted his opposition to “dark money” in the past, has now refused to denounce the help of a dark money group which is already airing factually incorrect ads against his Republican opponents.  It is clear that Joe Cunningham is only against dark money when it is politically convenient to do so. It is past time for Cunningham to get off the fence and actually tell voters in the Lowcountry whether he will continue to accept the help of dark money groups or whether he will flip-flop back to

ICYMI: Greenwood Index-Journal: McKissick: Trump economy continues to boom for South Carolinians

I wanted to flag the latest op-ed by Chairman McKissick that was published in the Greenwood Index- Journal about the success of the Trump economy here in South Carolina. Since President Trump’s election, South Carolina has added over 95,000 new jobs and is at the lowest unemployment rate in history. While 2020 Democrats like Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden want to reverse this success in favor of more government, it’s clear that the people of South Carolina want nothing to do with that reckless agenda. In Case You Missed It… Trump economy continues to boom for South Carolinians Greenwood Index- Journal Op-Ed:

ICYMI: Rep. Jeff Duncan: We Need America First Trade Deals

Greenville Business Magazine: Opinion June 20, 2019- 11:44AM For months, America’s farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers have been waiting on Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat-led House to do their job and consider trade deals that put America First, like the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The agreement as it currently stands would bring our trade relationship with our neighbors into the 21st century while creating another 176,000 new jobs and more than $68 billion in new investment in the U.S. economy. President Trump won in 2016 based on his promise to pursue trade deals that prioritize American workers and industries. The USMCA outlines stronger rules of origin in manufacturing and ensures that South Carolina’s agricultural exports, which are

ICYMI: Lindsey Graham faces challenge from ex-Podesta Group lobbyist

In Case You Missed It… Already backed by fundraising money from lobbyists and foreign agents, a former Podesta Group lobbyist launched his campaign to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on May 29. Jaime Harrison, a longtime revolving door member with a lengthy lobbying history, announced he would seek the Democratic nomination to challenge President Donald Trump’s rival-turned-top supporter in 2020. Harrison seized upon Graham’s transition from a feuding 2016 primary opponent and staunch critic of Trump into one of the president’s strongest defenders in the Senate. “Lindsey Graham can’t lead us in any direction because he traded his moral compass for petty political gain,” Harrison said, announcing

ICYMI: Republicans Want to Finish Takeover of S.C.

LANCASTER, S.C. November 23, 2013 (AP) By JEFFREY COLLINS – Link South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Matt Moore shares some striking political data when visiting local party meetings: In a state where the GOP holds most statewide offices and congressional and state legislative seats, Democrats still hold the counties. Democrats also outnumber Republicans as sheriffs, coroners and auditors. But that could change in 2014. Moore says his goal in next year’s elections is to flip the local offices to Republican control, completing a transformation that started nearly 50 years ago when then-Democrat Sen. Strom Thurmond went on statewide television and

Vince Sheheen’s Failing Campaign

Friend, Vince Sheheen and the S.C. Democratic Party today held a press conference decrying “mud slinging” in the South Carolina gubernatorial race. Beyond being a sad and desperate attempt to garner free TV coverage, their stunt is the height of hypocrisy. I was happy to attend the press conference and let the assembled media know the truth. Before it’s even gotten off the ground, Sheheen’s campaign is failing. For almost four years, South Carolina Democrats, including their Chairman and Sheheen, have thrown the kitchen sink at Governor Haley and called her every terrible name in the book.
