“with the conclusion of a session, there is a normal shuffling of staff positions, and for the office of the Second District of South Carolina we will miss Wesley Denton, who has served for 3 years as communications director. I have mixed feelings, personally, about this move; but I am thrilled Wesley has been selected to serve with Senator-elect Jim DeMint of South Carolina. Congressman DeMint is a person of high integrity and competence, which is reflected by his choosing Wesley. Wesley will be a part of history, in that South Carolina has not had two Republican U.S. Senators since 1877. Beginning in January, we will have the achievement of U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint. With Wesley's congressional experience, his training with Ed Meese at the Heritage Foundation, and his work with the House Committee on Armed Services, Wesley will assist the Senator to best represent the people of South Carolina. Wesley Denton, one of five sons of Cassy and Dan Denton of Beaufort, South Carolina, and the newlywed husband of the former Kari Brooks, is a credit to the people of South Carolina, and I wish him Godspeed. In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11.”
