The issues facing Charleston County has never been greater. Issues range from sea level rise, to flooding, the bus rapid transit line, and jump starting our local economy. The time for strong competent leadership is more important now than ever before.
Rob Wehrman – A public defender in Charleston who is incredibly committed to public service, good government, and the environment. He will be a stickler for making sure public funds are spent appropriately and a significant advocate for County taxpayers.
Kylon Middleton – The minister at Mount Zion AME in Downtown Charleston. He is a Charleston native who understands the importance of protecting the quality of life in Charleston. He’s been involved in numerous civic and community efforts over the last decade and is committed to ensuring the kind of zoning decisions we support in outer West Ashley where the district covers.
LaDon Paige – A veterinarian at West Ashley Vet. She is a political newcomer who is committed to making sure constituents have a voice on council. She was involved in a neighborhood effort fighting against a big billboard developer and was inspired to run for council.
The Lowcountry Livability PAC was founded in 2017. They serve as the only group who is focused on political influence on the local level when it comes to livability issues. In 2019, they supported five candidates, four of which were victorious. The three new members on City Council dramatically improved the landscape of Charleston City Council.
