Rankin has a strong record, ran clean campaign for S.C. Senate

The reason I support Sen. Luke Rankin over his opponent, Scott Pyle, is that Rankin runs a clean campaign and not one like Pyle, whose advertising temperament is just awful.

Pyle accuses Rankin of hiding his record, not doing his job, being for gun control, voting to increase taxes, and a host of other fabrications.

If you want the truth about Rankin’s record, all you have to do is click on the internet and bring up the S. C. Senate records, and they are all there.

If Pyle doesn't know this, then how on earth is he qualified to run for the Senate? Should you go to the Senate archives and click on the record of Rankin, you will see he is a very effective legislator and be able to dispel 95 percent of Pyle's exaggerated advertising, and that of his PAC cronies.

And let me suggest one other matter. Go to the South Carolina Ethic Commission to find how much money was contributed to Pyle's campaign by his out of the district benefactors, as well as those from out of state. It is said Pyle received more than $150,000 from the Club for Growth and a huge amount of money from Gov. Haley’s newly formed PAC to defeat state legislators who have opposed her agenda and vetoes of bills, such as Rankin.

The smart voter would vote for Rankin. He is head and shoulders a better choice for state senate than Pyle. Vote Rankin.
