| Description | Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford’s congressional campaign has struggled over the past two weeks. Some conservatives are ready to throw in the towel. One conservative group is launching a write-in campaign for state Senator Larry Grooms, to give voters an alternative to Sanford and his Democratic opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
...
The Conservative Campaign Committee PAC, which supported Grooms in the primary, is launching an independent expenditure campaign to give conservative voters who are disenchanted with Sanford but do not want to vote for a Democrat a third option in the May 7 special election.
The group has begun “actively reaching out to conservative leaders and groups from around the country to join our coalition and contribute to this effort,” CCC Vice Chair Selena Owens said in a statement.
The group plans to run radio and television ads to encourage voters to write in Grooms on the ballot.
“We don’t have to settle for the lesser of evils in this Special Election. Instead, write in Larry Grooms for Congress on May 7th,” the ads will say.
...
Grooms, however, is not on board with the effort and says he has requested that the group not move forward with it. |
