In the 2017 Charleston City Council races, LLPAC’s first electoral cycle, LLPAC changed the conversation in three races to the livability issues that need smart solutions from responsible and responsive leaders.
LLPAC’s endorsement and investment won a City Council seat for James Island with the election of Carol Jackson in District 12. In District 6, LLPAC leveled the playing field and took Amy Brennan, our endorsed candidate, to a runoff against the incumbent, refocusing the conversation to embrace the issues LLPAC raised. LLPAC also infused more than $6,000 independent expenditure into the District 2 race.
In the general election and District 6 runoff, we targeted almost 7,000 voters across the city, mailed more than 30,000 pieces of mail, served more than 500,000 digital ads, and placed more than 13,000 phone calls. More than 2,600 people saw content we shared on Facebook, and we’ve received good media coverage.
Overall, the LLPAC organization raised and spent more than $30,000 in support of the candidates we endorsed, a good start in our inaugural year. With you, we are ready to elevate our shared issues with the Charleston County Council candidates. Contribute today.
