Tom Rice is the choice for conservatives
On Nov. 8, voters in the Seventh Congressional District of South Carolina will have a choice between two candidates: Republican Rep. Tom Rice and Democrat, professor Mal Hyman.
I am voting for a leader who isn’t afraid to fight partisan gridlock in Washington to advance priorities of people in the district. I am voting Tom Rice.
Rice knows that Washington has a spending problem and our national debt is a threat to homeland security and is increasingly harmful to our nation. Since he was elected, he has returned almost $400,000 of his office operating budget back to the treasury and has long-advocated for a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
He knows that big government programs like Obamacare and Dodd-Frank regulations aren’t the way to grow our economy and put America on the right path. He has consistently voted to repeal big government policies that stifle our economy and instead works to put control back in the hands of South Carolinians.
I choose more freedom and less government control. I choose Tom Rice.
Crystal Welch, Florence
