Today we feature two of our Democratic State Senators seeking reelection. Meet Senator Vincent Sheheen and Senator Gerald Malloy. |
|
Senator Vincent Sheheen |
|
|
District 27 Kershaw, Lancaster and Chesterfield Counties Senator Sheheen has proven to be an effective leader and tireless advocate for his constituents. He has been a leader in the South Carolina Senate on education issues and passed an amendment to the Education Reform Bill that expanded 4 year old kindergarten. This amendment allows for at risk students to have access to public or private 4K programs. Learn more. |

"Children who are considered at risk need extra resources to raise them up to grade level abilities. Expanding 4K programs like we did in this amendment sends a clear message that South Carolina is serious about improving education— from when a child learns to read to when they prepare for college.” |

Senator Gerald Malloy |
|
|
District 29 Chesterfield, Darlington, Lee & Marlboro Counties Senator Malloy has consistently established himself as a leader who is willing to work for bipartisan solutions to our problems, while not sacrificing the principals that define him. He is an advocate for expanding broadband access which has become increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic. Senator Malloy co-sponsored the Broadband Accessibility Act and legislation to establish a Broadband Development Office. Learn more. |

“It is my hope that we conquer that divide between rural and urban, which a lot of times has to do with social-economic areas as well. I think that what we have to do is understand there's approximately 193,000 homes in South Carolina that does not have broadband. We got to make sure that we can end up having enough capacity to end up making it greater than the 25mb download, 3mb upload, to end up getting it where it's in the modern day times.” |
