COLUMBIA – Lt. Governor Pamela Evette, candidate for Governor, criticized the South Carolina State Senate today for failing to pass a new congressional map at the direction of President Donald Trump.
In a statement released via social media, Evette said:
“The South Carolina State Senate failed the people of South Carolina today. While President Trump is delivering on his America First agenda and Making America Great Again, the State Senate failed to deliver a strong redistricting map that reflects the conservative values of our state.
"The Senate’s inaction protects the status quo and ignores the will of the people who overwhelmingly rejected the radical left’s agenda. Republicans were elected to lead, fight, and deliver results, not stall, surrender, and protect political insiders. Conservative voters will remember who stood with them and who failed to act when given the opportunity.”
