On Education: Led fight against vouchers

Smith was key in defeating GOP proposals to use state funds to help parents pay private school tuition. Before his 2007 deployment, Smith got leave to fly back to Columbia, energizing the opposition a day after private school choice advocates thought they had the votes on an issue that divided Republicans. Legislators then approved a public school choice plan. Source: US News & World Report on 2018 South Carolina Governor race Oct 2, 2017
