Clinton Earns the Support of Dozens of SC General Assembly Members
In the latest sign of Hillary Clinton’s continued momentum, dozens of former and current South Carolina General Assembly members have announced their endorsement of Clinton, emphasizing her commitment to South Carolina families and children. These senators and representatives have said clearly: Clinton is the right choice for South Carolinians who want action on gun violence, criminal justice reform, college affordability, health care, and raising wages.
“Long ago, Hillary began fighting for justice while working here in South Carolina to investigate the living conditions of youth incarcerated in adult jails. She’ll continue this work as president by ending the era of mass incarceration, reforming mandatory minimum sentences, and supporting efforts to remove barriers facing formerly incarcerated individuals,” said Sen. Karl Allen
“Rural communities continue to face too many health, education and economic disparities, and we need someone always fighting for us. Hillary Clinton is working so all South Carolina families can have the opportunity of a good paying job, quality heath care, and affordable child care and education. As president, Hillary will fight for investments in our small towns,” said Sen. Brad Hutto.
“As she has done time and time again, she’ll stand up for families and work every day to ensure children have the opportunities to live up to his or her God given potential. Hillary is committed to expanding opportunity by raising the minimum wage, reforming a broken justice system, and make college affordable for all of South Carolina’s students and families,” said Sen. Darrell Jackson.
“I’m so impressed that Hillary Clinton values the experiences of local government officials and school board members. She understands that our cities and towns are economic engines that drive South Carolina. Hillary has always been a strong supporter of local priorities like good paying jobs, pay equality and investing money into our infrastructure. She has a proven record of supporting and valuing our priorities,” said Sen. Kevin Johnson.
“For decades, Hillary Clinton has been on the front lines of advocating for women and children. She is dedicated to helping our families succeed, starting with ensuring our kids have access to quality early childhood education and making college affordable,” said Sen. Margie Bright Matthews. “Hillary supports establishing initiatives to promote successful re-entry of formerly incarcerated individuals, which will allow an avenue for employment, paying taxes and taking care of their families. I believe we have to address the recidivism rate and give a second chance to individuals to give back to society.”
