Senators Ryberg, Grooms, Verdin, Bright & I are hosting a fundraiser for newly elected Rep. Josua Putnam. It will be at the Captal City Club in Columbia on Friday 11.18.11 at noon.

Joshua won his special election Anderson County this summer and will start his first session in Columbia in January. He is a young talent and former staff member in the office of Congressman Jeff Duncan. He brings great knowledge and enthusiasm to his office. Rep. Putnam & I serve the same constituents, and I’ve been impressed with his work ethic and commitment to the people of Anderson.

We would love to have your support. If you have any questions for Rep. Putnam, please contact him at www.joshuaputnam.com

Congratulations on the new Lowe’s Anderson South! Lowe’s now employs 117 associates. I was honored to take part in their “board cutting” (alternative to ribbon cutting) ceremony on Thursday 10.20.11. Rep. Don Bowen (R-Anderson) operated the saw, while I held the board (still have 10 fingers!).

We wish manager Scot Pfeffer and his team well!

There will be a public hearing with the
South Carolina Public Services Commission in Anderson on
November 10, 2011, at the Anderson Civic Center at 6pm.
