PAWLEYS ISLAND (WMBF) – With the primaries just months away, several candidates for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford’s seat are making their way around the state.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Gresham Barrett made a stop at Applewood Pancake House in Pawleys Island on Saturday morning. While there, Barrett focused on his platform of job creation.
“Our first plan was our jobs plan, putting South Carolina back to work,” Barrett said, “If you are going to break the cycle of dependency, one of the ways you are going to break it is to offer people opportunity, offer people real jobs.”
Barrett is just one of the candidates making a stop in the Grand Strand. The other GOP candidates are Andre Bauer, Nikki Haley and Henry McMaster. The Democratic candidates for governor are Dwight Drake, Robert Ford, Mullins McLeod, Vincent Sheheen and Jim Rex.
