Friends,

I hope that you enjoyed last night’s debate as much as I did! It was a pleasure to discuss the important issues facing our state and Charleston provided the perfect forum.

I am proud to be the only candidate on the stage last night who stayed true to the conservative principles that can restore fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability in Columbia. We must never allow political pressures from Washington to dictate how we run South Carolina and I am the only candidate for governor who showed that last night.

I talked about the necessity of fixing education by streamlining the funding formula, encouraging small business by restructuring the tax system, cutting wasteful spending and preventing Washington bailout money from plaguing our state. Please watch these highlights from the debate here:

As we continue the campaign in the coming weeks, it is important that you continue spreading our message of reform throughout the state. Contacting your friends and neighbors on my behalf and contributing to my campaign will have an enormous impact on this election and ultimately who becomes the next governor of South Carolina. You can contribute here.

Please send this video clip from last night’s debate to your entire friend list. By spreading our message we can show the nation that reform begins in South Carolina. You can watch the debate in its entirety here.

As always, I am grateful for your support and will continue to stand tall for all of South Carolina.

My very best,

Nikki
