“Lynn Ramirez isn’t a career politician (NO Corporate PAC money. NO AIPAC or Dark money.) — she’s a problem solver with real-world experience across the issues that matter most to families in our community.”
(Campaign Website) “Can our state handle the energy and water needs of these huge data centers? Are we overbuilding without keeping up with the safety and maintenance of existing roads and bridges? Lynn believes that the right laws and guidelines can protect South Carolina’s beauty and resources while still welcoming responsible growth, but we have to stop putting the cart before the horse.”
(Campaign Website) “The last 20+ years of GOP led policies in this state have failed to lift South Carolina’s ranking in education out of the bottom ten. The bottom ten! We know that lower education leads to increases in crime, poverty, and health problems and decreases opportunities and innovation. All these things are costing us millions in taxes.”
