SC Women for Trump, Midlands Director Pamela Godwin, of the Columbia chapter announced her group’s endorsement of Senatorial candidate Chris Smith for SC Senate seat 26 on Saturday.

The Midlands Women for Trump group boasts almost 3,000 members from all walks of life across the midlands. Godwin said her membership includes women from “every walk of life, from professional women to homemakers, from retired to young working women.”

Senate Seat 26 candidate Chris Smith

Smith is a small business owner who is retired from American Airlines. Smith says he is a “Constitutional Conservative and a Bible-believing Christian” who supports the Heartbeat Bill legislation currently in the State legislature. He also says he is an advocate of Law Enforcement and of the second amendment opposing gun confiscating “red flag” laws.

He is active as State Director for Promise Keepers and is a founding member of the City Light Coalition.

Smith has been an outspoken critic of Santee Cooper, calling it “an out-of-control rogue state agency” that has lost sight of its purpose to “provide affordable power to the people of South Carolina.” He said that “instead of being there for the people, they were there for the profits – hooking up with a corrupt group of “golden parachutists” at SCE&G in Nikki’s back yard.”

He emphasized that SC big power companies like Santee Cooper and SCE&G (Now Dominion) are “still giving outrageous bonuses to corporate level leaders and leaving the ratepayers of South Carolina holding the bag.” Smith said, “the Senate has failed to do anything about this issue.”

 

 

Godwin said her group endorsed Smith because he is pro-law enforcement. “He is the law and order candidate” she said.

She further said that Smith stands for the same values as her Women for Trump group does. Godwin stated that Smith would “lead the effort to get the heartbeat bill through…because he is a real conservative.”

Smith faces Democrat and current Senator Nikki Setzler, a lawyer who is running for re-election. Setzler was first elected to the Senate in 1976 and has held the office for 44 years.
