It’s time to make America work for everyone, not just those with money and power. Right now, the special interests run the show in Washington. That’s got to change, and we can change it.

You may agree with me. You may disagree with me.

But one thing’s for sure: I will be your Senator, not theirs.

 
Chad’s spent his whole working life fighting against the most powerful interests in America, from giant corporations to insurance companies, always standing up for people who couldn’t fight them all by themselves.
 
Chad McGowan knows exactly who he’s fighting for.
 
And he knows how to win.
 

Veterans Day

In the wake of the attack at Fort Hood, and the daily attacks on our service members in the Middle East, Veterans Day holds special importance.

House Passes Health Care Bill

Late Saturday night, the House of Representatives passed the Health Care Bill. The issue now goes to the Senate. The focus of the effort, in my view, needs to remain on reining in the health insurance companies. The only question that needs to be asked is what impact any bill will have on the families of South Carolina.

What we need is stable, affordable coverage that can't be dropped when you get sick. We need to eliminate the preexisitng condition issue because  it keeps families from moving to better jobs, or starting their own business. 

Aiken Democrat Fish Fry

Traveled to Aiken today to attend the annual Democratic Party fish fry. Well attended; everyone seemed to have a good time. Except perhaps the fish.

Got to meet with Rob Miller, Jane Dyer, and James Smith for Vincent Sheheen.

It was good to see everyone.
