Sheheen picks up lawmakers' endorsements
Posted on 04. Mar, 2010 by Jennifer Read in Election 2010
Today Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sen. Vincent Sheheen (D-Camden) announced endorsements from 40 of his peers in the General Assembly.
“I’m grateful to my friends and colleagues in the legislature for standing with me and supporting me today,” said Sheheen. “As governor, I’ll work with them to tackle the many challenges facing our state.”
Sheheen’s announcement comes days after one of his primary rivals, Superintendent of Education Jim Rex, unveiled his own impressive list of high profile supporters from the state’s education community. With less than 100 days to go before SC Democrats head to the polls, both campaigns appear to be turning to their natural bases to pump up support for their guy on primary day.
