Today, Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Mullins McLeod reacted to a news story by Politico.com reporting that South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford will be the special guest for a dinner tonight in Virginia hosted by Republican fundraiser and former Nixon aide Fred Malek. The web site reports that the purpose of the dinner is to help wealthy GOP donors choose a candidate for President in 2012. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was invited to the dinner, but declined due to serious ice jam flooding in her state.
McLeod made the following statement:
"I strongly urge Governor Sanford to focus on the job he has until looking for his next one. Ice jam flooding may not be a problem here in South Carolina, but we have plenty of them. We are in the middle of a jobs crisis with one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation and we are being forced to fire teachers. Whether he likes it or not, Mark Sanford is our Governor. Instead of looking for a promotion, he needs to focus on fixing the problems we face right here," McLeod said.
McLeod has already pledged to return to private life after his time as Governor. "South Carolina needs a Governor who will focus like a laser beam on creating jobs and fixing our schools without distractions," he said. |
