Jeb announces South Carolina Grand Strand leadership team

On the heels of a great visit to South Carolina earlier this week, Jeb named the first round of Grand Strand campaign leaders for his Presidential campaign. 

This strong show of support comes on the heels of multiple other endorsements from local elected officials, both South Carolina Medal of Honor recipients, gubernatorial appointees, former Republican Party leaders and businesspeople across the state.


“Governor Bush’s record of cutting taxes by $19 billion, reducing the size of government and standing for life is by far the most impressive in the field.  We need conservative, experienced leadership in Washington and that’s exactly what Jeb Bush can deliver,” Horry County Co-Chair Deane Morris said.


The following leaders will serve as key members in driving voter turnout for the primary election on February 20. Read more on Jeb2016.com: https://jeb2016.com/communications/south-carolina-grand-strand-leadership-team/
