Vote Marshall West, a Citadel graduate, licensed land and commercial real estate appraiser, and Berkeley County Community Development Advisory Board Advisor, who is committed to preserving and protecting Berkeley County from overdevelopment on County Council.

Harriet Holman for Dorchester County Council District 1 who is becoming a regular on Fox News, after leaving the Democrat Party to join the Republican Party that better represents her values, and has ensured all Members of the Dorchester County Council are Republican.

CHRIS MURPHY FOR STATE HOUSE, DISTRICT 98 who, as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, serves in the highest leadership position of all Members of the South Carolina State Legislature from the Lowcountry.

Robby Robbins for S.C. House who has been the busiest candidate in recent months securing victories in a Special Republican Primary Election, Special General Election, and now the Republican Primary.

IN THE NEWS: “Parker’s campaign, which was organized by political consulting firm UPT Strategies, visited about 6,000 doors. The group has worked with other James Island political figures including Peter McCoy, former state representative and U.S. attorney, and current Charleston County Council representative for the area, Jenny Honeycutt for Council.”

Although two incumbents lost their seats on Charleston City Council Nov. 4, the overall voting patterns from the governing body may look similar going forward.
