When I ran for state legislature, I ran against a 30-year incumbent. I was the underdog. When I ran for governor of South Carolina, I was underfunded and far behind in the polls. I was the underdog. I’ve run many campaigns. I’ve been the underdog many times. But I’ve never lost an election. It wasn’t easy. Standing up to the status quo never is. Defeating the longest-serving member of the state legislature was a daunting task. But I put my head down and focused on one thing: winning. |
