Top Aide to Congressman Clyburn & Former Gephardt State Director Williams Joins Edwards SC Campaign

COLUMBIA, SC: The Edwards for President Campaign in South Carolina today announced that Isaac "Ike" Williams, top aide to Congressman Jim Clyburn and former state director for Rep. Dick Gephardt's presidential campaign, has joined the Edwards team.

"Ike will be a tremendous asset to our campaign in South Carolina," said Edwards. "His knowledge of this state spans some four decades and his work for Congressman Clyburn is unparalleled. Without question, we have the team in place to bring home a victory in South Carolina on February 3rd, and I'm proud to have Ike Williams on board."

. . .

A veteran of South Carolina politics for over 40 years, Williams ran Congressman Clyburn's first campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992. Following that successful election bid, Williams served as Clyburn's state district liaison until 2003, when he joined the Gephardt campaign as state director. Williams also served as the South Carolina field director for the NAACP from 1969 to 1983.
