For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

  • 2010 Arts Advocacy Handbook
    2010 ARTS ADVOCACY HANDBOOK Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Arts January 2010 Dear Arts Leader: As we celebrate our 30th year of service to the arts, we know that “Art Works in South Carolina” – in our classrooms and in our communities. We also know that effective advocacy must take place every day! And there has never been a more important time to advocate for the arts than NOW. With drastic funding reductions to the South Carolina Arts Commission and arts education programs within the S. C. Department of Education, state arts funding has never been more in jeopardy. On February 2nd, the South Carolina Arts Alliance will host Arts Advocacy Day – a special opportunity to celebrate the arts – to gather with colleagues and legislators – and to express support for state funding of the arts and arts education! Meet us at the Statehouse, 1st floor lobby (enter at the Sumter Street side) by 11:30 AM, to pick up one of our ART WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA “hard-hats” and advocacy buttons to wear. If you already have a hat or button, please bring them! We’ll greet Legislators as they arrive on the 1st floor and 2nd floors. From the chamber galleries, you can view the arts being recognized on the House and Senate floors. You may want to “call out” your legislator to let him or her know you are at the Statehouse and plan to attend the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon. Then join arts leaders and legislators at the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Legislative Arts Caucus.

Peeler, Jr. DATE: May 4, 2020 SUBJECT: President’s Select Committee to Re-Open South Carolina ______________________________________________________________________________ As President of the Senate, I have appointed a Select Committee to Re-Open South Carolina. Senator Thomas Alexander will chair this Select Committee. Other members include Senators Gerald Malloy, Vincent Sheheen, Tom Davis, Kevin Johnson, Katrina Shealy and Ross Turner. As the Select Committee you are charged with accepting any recommendations made by Governor Henry McMaster’s AccelerateSC task force. Recommendations requiring legislative action will be reviewed by you. Legislation will be introduced by you. I ask that the Select Committee to Re-Open South Carolina begin work immediately. There will be many ideas to be considered including best practices for business operations, safe harbors for potential COVID-19 liability, continued workforce development, and addressing the increase in unemployment. If our businesses need tools to return to work, then we need to provide them. If our citizens need our help, then we need to help them. South Carolinians have been in a difficult situation for too long. By transforming the efforts of AccelerateSC into legislative action, the Senate, through Re-Open South Carolina, can do its part to provide that our citizens and our economy are safe and secure.
