South Carolinians want efficient government that works, said S.C. Sen. Vincent Sheheen, D-Camden, who will seek the Democratic nomination for governor in 2010.

"We have a total disaster in state government," Sheheen, 39, said in an interview while visiting Aiken on Monday. "Someone like me can bring a different generational perspective. We have a great opportunity in this state, and if a person wants to do well, he can do so without regard to party."

Julia Truesdale had several questions in mind as she waited Aug. 24 to speak with state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, one of four Democrats now running for governor.

Truesdale was interested in Sheheen’s views on education funding and high school dropout rates.

“I wanted to meet him personally,” Truesdale said. “I wanted to know what he’s going to do with education, especially with African-American males because of their high dropout rates. That’s my question and he (Sheheen) seems to have some great ideas to put in place.”
