Greenville builder Doug Harper has been named one of four co-chairs for Congressman Gresham Barrett’s statewide gubernatorial campaign.

Harper, president of Harper Corp. and former chairman of the Upstate Alliance, the regional economic development organization, cited the jobs issue in a statement issued by the campaign.

“Gresham Barrett will aggressively promote innovative policies to make state government leaner, more effective and focused on economic development so that we can put South Carolina back to work,” Harper said.

Also announced as statewide campaign co-chairs were Peter M. Brown of Columbia, president of Colite International Ltd.; Cindy Costa of James Island, South Carolina’s chairwoman on the Republican National Committee; and Maj. Gen. (Ret) James Livingston of Mt. Pleasant, who received the Medal of Honor for heroism in Vietnam.
