2022 SC Governor's race: on Jobs


Mia McLeod: Raise minimum wage to at least $15/hour

Better protections and pay for the working people of South Carolina are paramount. I'm a small business owner whose family has been in business in South Carolina for over 107 years. I support a minimum wage of at least $15.00/hour because working people should be able to afford rent, food, healthcare and other basic living expenses. I believe South Carolina can be pro-business and pro-people; the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Mia McLeod: Let people decide whether to unionize, against right to work

We should trust South Carolinians to make their own decisions about whether a collective bargaining process will significantly increase their wages and improve their working conditions. While our governor demonizes and vilifies labor unions, working people across our state continue to struggle to live on $7.25 per hour and between $42 and $326 per week in unemployment benefits.
