Sanders endorsed by Black South Carolina lawmakers
Rep. Joe Neal, a Richland County Democrat, endorsed the presidential candidate in a press conference at the State House. Sanders received the endorsements of Rep. Wendell Gilliard (D-Charleston) and Rep. Justin Bamberg (D-Barnwell) last week.
Bamberg had previously endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but rescinded that endorsement and gave it to Sanders.
Neal, a pastor from Hopkins, is the fourth longest-serving member of the S.C. House of Representatives.
