COLUMBIA, SC – Today, Gresham Barrett released his new ad “Shake Up Columbia,”  a light-hearted look at how he is the candidate with a plan to change the way things are done at the State House.

“Too much of this election has been dominated by things that don’t matter. But Gresham Barrett is fighting to make it about issues that do,” said Barrett Campaign Manager Luke Byars.

“For voters who want to truly turn the page on the politics of gripe and gridlock at the Statehouse, Gresham Barrett is the best choice. He’s an honest conservative leader who will make the tough decisions to create jobs, cut spending, and really reform government.”
