Sen. Darline Graham and challenger Annie Andrews held separate campaign events in Greenville, where Andrews unveiled a taxpayer pledge and both discussed the race and a scheduled debate. Their contrasting messages focused on taxes, spending and affordability.
Andrews presented her campaign’s “Taxpayer Pledge,” which included no tax increases for families making less than $500,000, lower government spending and congressional term limits. She described the national debt as an “existential crisis” and said South Carolina families were bearing the consequences of both parties’ decisions.
Graham met with Republican voters and discussed her conservative credentials, legislative votes and support for tax cuts. Both candidates said they would participate in one debate on Oct. 11; Andrews said she wanted four, while Graham said her schedule allowed for the one planned debate.
