SC Club for Growth State Action PAC Endorses Seventeen Legislators for June Primaries
Columbia, SC – Today, the South Carolina Club for Growth State Action PAC endorsed seventeen current South Carolina legislators that are seeking election in the upcoming June 10th primary.
Each of these legislators has shown a continued commitment to limited government and responsible spending, while leading efforts to change South Carolina's antiquated system of government. All earned a combined grade of "B" or better in the Club's legislative scorecards and cumulatively represent approximately the top 10% of grades for the entire General Assembly.
South Carolina Club for Growth Executive Director Matt Moore released the following statement on the endorsements:
"On behalf of our membership across the state, I'm proud to announce these endorsements. We believe leadership matters. South Carolina's future generations will benefit from these legislators leading the charge to reform our state government.
Through the support of hundreds of members around the state, we are hopeful that many more change-oriented legislators will join these reformers at the Statehouse next January. We will be carefully monitoring their re-election efforts. Should credible challengers run against any of them, we will urge our members to contribute generously to these endorsed incumbents."
