Received this e-mail today from State Senator Vincent Sheheen's (D. SC) campaign in his comeback bid to unseat incumbent Governor Nikki Haley (R. SC):
Your support has gotten our campaign off to a tremendous start! So, we wanted to give you a quick update on how things are going:
First, with your support, our campaign was able to outraise Nikki Haley in the last quarter to fund our efforts to change South Carolina. She and her campaign tried to use some smoke and mirrors to pad her numbers, but press reports got it right: we raised more than she did. And that is a really, really big deal.

South Carolinians are fed up with her tricks and support Vincent Sheheen.
Vincent has also been active across the state, speaking to voters and laying out his vision for South Carolina’s future.
Just last week he delivered the keynote address to the S.C. Clean Energy Summit and wrote an op-ed on the important role renewable energy can play in creating jobs, saving money, and protecting our environment:

This weekend he made multiple stops across the state, sharing his plan to improve the state:

And don’t forget, he delivered on several of his key initiatives for South Carolina during the legislative session, including expanding opportunity for 4-year-old kindergarten and creating a Taxpayer Protection Fund to help those who suffer financial loss as a result of the Dept. of Revenue hacking scandal:

And Nikki Haley? She’s been busy failing the state as usual.
South Carolina lost an additional 200 jobs to Tennessee and Mexico this week with yet another plant closure:

Reports turned up no evidence of voter fraud in South Carolina, and Nikki Haley refused to apologize for wasting millions of dollars investigating and protecting against “Zombie voters.”

Discussion of Nikki Haley’s failure to lead on higher education continued, in a story showing South Carolina has the highest tuition rates in the South for public colleges and universities:

And this all comes after she threw the “state’s health care industry into chaos” by vetoing funding for the Certificate of Need program, which facilitates the expansion of hospitals and other health services that create jobs and serve South Carolinians.:

Frankly, state government under Nikki Haley is a disaster. It’s broken. It’s incompetent. It’s hampering economic development. And it’s wasting your tax dollars. We can do better.
Together, we will put South Carolina on a better path forward.
Thanks for your continued support!
