Boyd is the strongest candidate for S.C. Senate

I support Reese Boyd III for S.C. Senate District 34, the seat currently held by retiring Sen. Ray Cleary.

Reese has proven himself a passionate supporter of the entire Grand Strand. He recently served as the state executive committeeman for the Horry County Republican Party.

He is a true conservative who favors term limits and opposes raising taxes. He and his family are examples of how wholesome principles and values can inspire great community service.

One of his opponents, Rep. Stephen Goldfinch, has a less than conservative voting record, such as opposing income disclosure for

state politicians. Reese Boyd brings a fresh, commons sense approach to the serious issues facing the area.

Please vote Reese Boyd III on June 14.

Jean Hampton, Myrtle Beach
