Columbia, SC– Today, Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler (R-Gaffney) released the following statement on the outcome of Tuesday night’s election:
“Last night was a huge win for the Senate Republican Caucus. The Caucus maintained a 27-19 majority in an election cycle that was focused on change. I believe the Senate Republican Caucus had the right message and the right messengers at the right time. But, now is no time to rest on our laurels. We have watched the national party struggle while South Carolina and the Senate Republican Caucus were able to hold their ground. As a party, we must focus on the real life issues that impact people every day.
“Senate candidates ran on a host of issues that are vitally important to the state. Issues such as roll call votes, spending limits, government accountability, alternative energy sources, and achieving the right balance between growth and conservation are issues the Caucus and its members are committed to tackling.
“Over the next four years, I think you will see the Caucus advance these and other key issues. Issues that will have a long term effect on the state and the way things are done in Columbia.”
