Last month we had another fantastic turnout for my regular Community Cookout here on the shores of Lake Murray!
I’ve hosted these for the community ever since my first election in order to bring elected officials here, in a casual setting, so you can speak directly with them about issues important to you!
Hearing from constituents regularly – not just during campaign season – helps us all do a better job in office!
Through the years we’ve had Governors (Sanford, Haley, McMaster), US Senators (Graham) and Representatives (Wilson), as well as statewide office holders (Lt. Governor, Superintendent of Education, Treasurer, etc) join our local officials in attendance. Mayors, Town Councilmembers, County Councilmembers, School Board members, Sheriffs, and even members from the SC Department of Transportation. We’ve had Election Commissioners and Recreation Commissioners attend as well.
This year I was glad to see new faces from Irmo and Chapin join us and walk away letting me know they were glad they attended!
