COLUMBIA, SC –  Today, Gresham Barrett announced a major endorsement in his race for Governor.  Iris Campbell, South Carolina’s former first lady and wife of Governor Carroll Campbell, threw her full support behind Gresham Barrett saying:

“Gresham Barrett is a strong leader with the principles and character to make our state proud.  Like Carroll, Gresham is a small businessman at heart, and knows how to work with others to turn ideas into conservative action. If Carroll were still with us, I have no doubt he would join me in strongly supporting Gresham.”

Thanking her for her endorsement, Gresham said, “South Carolina was blessed to have Iris Campbell as our first lady, and I am honored to have her support.”
