Senate campaign was truly gratifying

I would like to say thank you to all the good folks of Aiken County that I was able to meet over the course of my state Senate race, and I walk away extremely encouraged by all the great input and support I received over these past couple of months.

I have truly enjoyed meeting so many people as well as strengthening my ties with old friends. Those things, above all else, made this campaign a very gratifying experience, and reminds me every day how fortunate I have been in my life to have such wonderful family and friends, new and old.

I look forward to continuing to stay involved in an area where I have been raised and love, and I wish Greg Ryberg all the best as he continues to serve as our state senator.
