SC House Nominee Michelle Brandt Releases Statement About Canceled Candidate Forum

The campaign for Michelle Brandt (right), the Democratic nominee for South Carolina House District 114, released the following statement after accepting an invitation to participate in a candidate forum hosted by the Charleston Area League of Women Voters to answer questions submitted by community members:

“She readily accepted the invitation to respond directly to the residents of District 114 and to encourage their participation in the electoral process.

However, the forum can no longer proceed because her opponent, Gary Brewer, did not respond to the request. Public debate has a long tradition in American politics and promotes transparency among the candidates. By not accepting the request, her opponent denies voters the chance to see where he stands on the issues.

Michelle Brandt entered this race to be a more accessible representative for the people of West Ashley and Dorchester County. She believes that being available and responsive to constituents is the primary responsibility of any elected official. Therefore, she urges her opponent to discuss the issues with her to give the voters the answers they deserve. The people of West Ashley and Dorchester County have been without real representation for too long, and Michelle is here to change that.”
