David Beasley: “This is abhorrent. Elections don’t have to be about cruelty and lies. South Carolina deserves better.”

I cannot tell you how many times mothers would say to me, my son or husband did not want to join ISIS or al-Qaeda but we had not fed our little girl in 2 weeks. What were we supposed to do?

If we are able to feed 200 million people, that means that we can actually cut hunger in Africa by 80 percent.

I am doing this because it is the right thing to do.

While South Carolinians can strongly disagree with one another, we can do so civilly and with honest intentions for the betterment of our communities and well being of our families.
