THAD VIERS: Accomplishments outweigh failings

What must it be like to be Rep. Thad Viers? As his constituent, I am familiar with his remarkable record of accomplishments, I know exactly where he stands on the issues and I approve.

This outspoken young leader has never wavered from the conservative principles he promised to uphold during his first election. He has led the fight to keep taxes low, voted to sustain almost all of Gov. Mark Sanford’s wasteful-spending vetoes, almost single-handedly taken on the immigration issue and achieved positions of leadership that prove we sent the right person to Columbia.

Thad has represented his constituents the way we elected him to do. I cannot believe that the people in District 68 will remove him because he made one mistake. Thad has grown in office and I have every confidence that one day Thad will represent us in Washington, D.C.
