Questions for SC Gubernatorial Candidates
In the spring of 2010, the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina asked all South Carolina gubernatorial candidates five questions around poverty and economic opportunity in the state. The five questions reflect general issues and policies that are of concern to the underserved in South Carolina and the organizations and voters working with this population.
These questions were one means to assist voters in analyzing some of the significant poverty and opportunity issues of the campaign so that they can exercise their rights in a most effective manner. It was not the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina's intention to persuade you how to vote. Likewise, Foundation does not endorse or campaign for candidates or political parties. Our hope is that voters will examine the positions of candidates on these issues, as well as their personal integrity, beliefs and performance.
Governor-elect Nikki Haley (R) will take office January 12, 2011. To view the five questions and Haley’s unedited response, click here.
