2012 Liberty Candidates in SC

[mikewallacesc]

I just wanted to open a place here for people to post Liberty/Freedom/Ron Paul Candidates running in SC this year. It doesn't matter what party they are, just as long as they uphold the principles of the Liberty Movement. Preferrably candidates who have been, or you think would be endorsed by libertycandidates.org or the RLC.

I'll start it off:

Ryan Payne is a Paul supporter. He's running for the open District 44 State House seat primarily in Lancaster County. He's facing a primary challenge from an establishment Republican, Joe Coy. Ryan is running on a platform of fiscal responsibility, streamlining SC's tax code, cutting income taxes, eliminating business property taxes, ending economic incentive packages, and ending state-funded lobbyists. He's also vowed to support bills that enhance personal freedoms, and fight against those that limit them. He has been endorsed by State Sen. Tom Davis, who also endorsed Ron Paul. His website: http://www.payneforschouse.com

I don't know of any in the Upstate. I've posted a link to this thread on several of our SC Ron Paul Facebook groups. Hopefully I'll get some help filling it in.

Recently, I was told by some local Ron Paul supporters that Lee Bright is one worth checking into.

 

[mikewallacesc]

Lee endorsed Dr. Paul. I don't really know much more about him.

 

[JenH88]

Danny Verdin, SC state senate, district 9.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Jack Hunter needs to consider leaving the campaign and getting in office now if it is not too late.

 

[mikewallacesc]

Danny Verdin, SC state senate, district 9.

What do you know about Verdin? I had never heard of him before he endorsed Paul.

SC C4L Survey Results

FYI. The survey program isn't everything but it helps hold some accountable and gives ammo to help hold them accountable.
