Two Endorsements for GOP Runoff in SC Tuesday

Two important races in upstate South Carolina will be decided in Tuesday's GOP runoff election. The Liberty Sphere endorses two newcomers to politics--Lee Bright and Shane Martin.

Roebuck businessman Lee Bright faces off against incumbent Scott Talley in S.C. Senate District 12. Bright's vast experience in business, as opposed to Talley, who is an attorney, led Governor Mark Sanford to endorse Lee Bright for the seat.

The Liberty Sphere feels that a solid businessman like Bright is to be preferred over Talley in a legislature that has been traditionally overrun with attorneys, much to its detriment.

The other newcomer, Shane Martin, squares off against incumbent Jim Ritchie in S.C. Senate District 13. Once again, the candidate is a small business owner and engineer and thus possesses the kind of background the legislature sorely needs.

Although both Talley and Ritchie are good men and have done an acceptable job in Columbia, neither have provided the kind of strong leadership to facilitate change and progress in the state legislature.

The Liberty Sphere feels that this is the year for incumbents to go, many of whom have failed the voters. Fresh faces in Columbia would do the state a world of good.

Thus, we encourage voters in Districts 12 and 13 to vote for Bright and Martin in Tuesday's GOP runoff primary.
