Analysis and opinion by The Greenville Post’s founding editor, Joshua Cook.

U.S. Senate – Lee Bright

State senator Lee Bright was endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus (national) and is a true patriot backed by an impeccable conservative voting record.

U.S. Senate  – Tim Scott

Senator Tim Scott has a solid conservative record and we are happy to endorse him.

Lt. Governor – Ray Moore

Ray Moore is a conservative champion and a straight shooter. Moore says that his number one reason for running is to advance school choice (educational freedom).

Superintendent of Education – Sheri Few

Few created a non-profit to stop common core in South Carolina. The Post respects her tenacity and her focus on school choice. The bottom line is Few has the energy and grassroots support to stop the federal overreach of education and will help us pass educational freedom. She is not afraid to say the word “voucher.”

Treasurer – Curtis Loftis

Loftis is challenging the status quo in Columbia. He calls out the “good ole boys” in Columbia and the South Carolina Retirement System Investment Commission for mismanaging funds. See article here.

The Post trusts Loftis and expects him to continue to shake things up in the Columbia machine.

State House District #4 – Michelle Wiles – Pickens Co.

Michelle Wiles has been endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus and is a true conservative and reformer. If Wiles wins it will be a huge win for liberty!

State House District #3 – Ed Harris – Pickens Co.

Ed Harris was endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus. Harris will bring his business experience and conservative principles to Columbia. He is a true conservative leader.

State House District #18 – Valerie Wade

Endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus Wade promises not to raise taxes. Her opponent wants to raise the gas tax and opposes the SC Fair Tax which eliminates the state income tax.

State House District #20 – Justin Alexander

Justin Alexander was endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus. He believes in less government and individual freedom. Watch Justin explain why he is running here.

State House District #21 – Steve Mauriello

Mauriello is a former police officer and has a Masters in Counseling.

It is rumored that Mauriello’s opponent Phyllis Henderson – who is a Lindsey Graham and Bobby Harrell supporter – will challenge state senator Lee Bright’s seat if he doesn’t win against Graham.

The Post encourages all conservatives to take out Henderson now and vote for Steve.

State House District #24 – Bang Hall or Gary Titcomb

Both Hall and Titcomb are true conservatives and will vote for less government and more freedom. Their opponent Bruce Bannister is a RINO and needs to go.

Bannister is friends with Bobby Harrell and both share a pathetic 32 voting score from Club for Growth.

State House District #34 Gaye Holt – Spartanburg Co.

Gaye Holt is a great conservative. The Post highly recommends her. Please vote for her.

Greenville County Council District #19 – Willis Meadows – Greenville Co.

Endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus Meadows has been a conservative ally. He voted No on the $65,000,000.00 per year tax hike. Willis is a voice of reason on the council and a friend of the tax payer.

State House District #5 – Harley Staton

Endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus Staton is the conservative voice we need in Columbia. Conservatives need a win in District 5 and we highly recommend Staton.

State House District #8 – Jonathon Hill

Endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus Jonathon Hill is a leader we need in Columbia. The establishment does not want Hill to win. Just check out who is giving to his opponent Don Bowen.

Hill issued a strong statement against Speaker Bobby Harrell. Check out Hill’s excellent speech at a press conference here.

State House District #17 – Joshua Cook – Greenville Co.

Joshua Cook is the acting Chair of the Republican Liberty Caucus and leader of the No Tax Hike movement to prevent $65,000,000.00 per year county tax hike.

His opponent Mike Burns received a 55% voting score from the Greenville Tea Party and a 75 score from Club for Growth.

Cook promises give vocal and visible leadership to the conservative grassroots movement.

Here are his key issues:

- Fight to Eliminate Property Taxes

- Eliminate State Income Taxes

- Sponsor Pro-gun Rights legislation

- Sponsor School Choice Legislation

- Stop Common Core

- Reform Judicial Selection Process

- Fight to Protect the Unborn
