b'A Heartfelt THANK YOU to My Campaign Volunteers!By Rep. Wendy BrawleyCampaignsareexcitingandchallengingallatthesametime.Winorlose, dedicated volunteers give weeks of their time doing whatever it takes to see their candidate cross the finish line with a win on Election Day. I was fortunate to haveateamoftrulyincrediblevolunteerswhogenerouslygaveoftheirtime, talent, and treasure to my re-election effort in the redrawn gerrymandered House District 70. Sadly, we lost a very close race by 115 votes and missed the runoff by only five votes.But all is not lost, the residents of Lower Richland will get twoHouseDistrictsagainin2024,thankstothelawsuitbroughtbytheSC NAACPandtheACLUagainsttheRepublicanleadershipintheSCHouse of Representatives. I was happy to do my part to assist in the lawsuit and even though it came with a political price, I would do it all over again to restore two House Districts in Lower Richland and thus keep greater representation for our rural community at the Statehouse. Thank You to my amazing volunteer team for fighting against all the odds and doing it in a way that would make any candidate proud!26IMARA'
