Barrett for Governor Campaign Finance Co-Chair Barry Wynn released the following statement last night regarding the debate:

“Tonight, Gresham Barrett proved why he is uniquely qualified to lead South Carolina’s economic turnaround. He is the only candidate who has run a small business, led as a Captain in the U.S. Army, and served at both the state and federal level in elected office. Those experiences have prepared Gresham to serve our state as Governor in these challenging times.

“You can sum up all of Gresham’s plans for South Carolina in one word – JOBS. As Governor, Gresham will focus on making our state the South’s leader in economic development, re-establishing the Port of Charleston as the gateway to the east coast, reforming our tax structure, reducing wasteful spending, recruiting new business, and rewarding companies who already call South Carolina home by providing them opportunities to grow and expand.”
