2020 SC Senate race: on Principles & Values


Jaime Harrison: I will never lie to you; won't go back on my word

Harrison: Google Lindsey Graham and term limits. He said he would term limit himself. I do believe that the ultimate term limit is in the power of the people here in South Carolina. But I also believe it is incumbent upon us to keep our promises. And if we change our minds, just admit, I changed my mind. Don't duck and dodge. I will never, never, never lie to you. You may not agree with everything I say all the time, but you will always know where I stand and I'm not going to go back on my word.

Jaime Harrison: First step working with other side is not to call them nuts

Graham: The people running the Democratic Party today are nuts.

Harrison: The first step in terms of working with the other side is not to call the other side nuts. I have a six-year-old who I teach, "You know, son, that sometimes people come from different backgrounds and they see the world a little differently, but that doesn't make them bad because of it." Even though Democrats and Republicans may take the different paths, hopefully our destination is the same.

Lindsey Graham: Big choice election: capitalism versus socialism

This is a big choice election between me and Mr. Harrison. Capitalism versus socialism. Conservative judges versus liberal judges. Law and order versus chaos. You know where I stand.

Jaime Harrison: Not political issues: about doing what is right

"We are trying to be above politics because we have issues here that are not political issues," he said. "They are issues that Democrats and Republicans, poor and rich, black and white are all struggling with and dealing with on a day to day basis. It's about doing what is right versus what's wrong."

Jaime Harrison: Helping others: cooking dinners, sharing campaign donations

Harrison said his campaign is seeking to help others. He said he cooked dinner Friday for parents of hospitalized children at the Ronald McDonald House in Greenville. He promised to turn over $20,000 at the end of December from his campaign account to the state Democratic Party to assist other candidates.

Gloria Bromell Tinubu: 2018 Lt. Gov. candidate; 2012 & 2014 House candidate

Phil Noble, a Democratic candidate for South Carolina governor, named Gloria Bromell Tinubu as his running mate pick for lieutenant governor, touting the decision as an opportunity to take the Palmetto State in a radically different direction. The pick allows Noble, a white businessman from Charleston, to diversify his ticket with an African-American woman.

"We're here to make history for a new South Carolina, a new way of dealing with things, a new sense of honesty and openness, a new sense of caring for those who haven't been cared for," Noble said.

Tinubu, 65, is not new to electoral politics. Born in Plantersville, the Georgetown resident represented Atlanta in the Georgia General Assembly before moving back to her native South Carolina.

She ran for Congress twice [in 2012 and 2014] against U.S. Rep. Tom Rice, R-Myrtle Beach, winning the Democratic nomination both times but falling short in the general election.
