Vincent Sheheen (D) also has a strong economic vision for South Carolina, and his support of comprehensive tax reform, port expansion, the technical college system, low-cost energy and small business growth are all priorities that support a globally competitive South Carolina. His bipartisan experience and work in the General Assembly make him equipped to handle the demands that come from leading the state.

"I'm honored to have the support of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce.  As governor, my number one priority will be job creation and getting our economy moving again. I will personally lead the state’s efforts to recruit robust industry and aggressively pursue economic development opportunities for South Carolina."

Dwight has been a formidable opponent whose smarts, expertise, and vast knowledge of South Carolina government brought great perspective and ideas to the table in this race.  I greatly respect his service to our country in Vietnam, his service to our state as an advisor to Governor Riley, and I look forward to working with him to tackle the many challenges facing South Carolina.

Every day new people across South Carolina are joining our effort to get our state moving in the right direction.  We're laying the groundwork of a winning campaign, and as your next governor, I will make it my mission to help restore hope for all of the people of South Carolina by recruiting well-paying jobs, improving our schools, and working with you to make South Carolina a better place to live.  

"These are tough budget times, but we need to make necessary cuts to the budget without sacrificing things that are critical investments for our future -- and education is one of those things," said Senator Sheheen. "We owe it to our children to keep teachers in the classroom."

Friend --

We're on the brink of reaching a fundraising milestone this month: one MILLION dollars.

With your help, Vincent will be the first Democratic candidate for governor to hit the million mark, which is a testament to lots of hard work and support from folks like you. Will you contribute today to make this our million dollar month?

Thousands of people -- people from all 46 counties -- are supporting Vincent Sheheen in his campaign to be the next governor because we are ready to be proud of South Carolina again. Not only will Vincent be a governor who will work tirelessly to bring jobs to our state and to improve our schools -- he'll also be a governor who will represent the everyday people and values that make this state special. We're tired of feeling defeated and disappointed by our leaders. Our state motto is, "While I breathe, I hope." With Vincent's leadership, we can restore hope in South Carolina.

Will you make a donation today and help us reach our goal?

Your contribution is vital to helping us fuel the aggressive campaign we have to run to win this election. We couldn't have made it this far without you, and we thank you in advance for your generosity today.

Thank you for all that you do,

Trav
