Meet the Primary Candidates: House District 38, 39, and 52

Three South Carolina House races show just how different “representation” can look across the state. In HD 38, 39, and 52, Grace talks with primary candidates Charlianne Nestlen, Katie Hall, and Dr. Malcolm Taylor about childcare, senior care, small farms, judicial reform, infrastructure, healthcare costs, and what voters are asking for in their communities. From the Upstate to the Midlands, these candidates make the case for service, accountability, and leadership rooted in real life. 00:00 Introduction 01:21 Charlianne Nestlen 24:26 Katie Hall 41:37 Malcom Taylor Charlianne Nestlen https://www.votenestlen.com/ Katie Hall https://katiehallscdis39.wixsite.com/vote-katie-hall Dr. Malcom Taylor https://www.taylorforhd52.com/ Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.

Meet the Primary Candidates: House District 25

South Carolina’s fastest-growing communities are changing, but is the legislature keeping up? Rep.

As one of the few Democratic primaries in the state, this race offers a closer look at who South Carolina is building its future for and who risks being left behind.

Meet the Primary Candidates: Congressional District 5

South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District has an open seat, and the primary fight is already revealing two very different paths forward. With Ralph Norman running for governor, Andrew Clough and Mallory Dittmer make their case to voters on growth, infrastructure, rural communities, democracy, women’s rights, and what honest representation should look like in CD5. From Rock Hill and Fort Mill to the rural counties across the district, this race could shape how South Carolina’s 5th District is represented in Washington. 00:00 Introduction 01:54 Andrew Clough 13:22 Mallory Dittmer Andrew Clough https://www.cloughforsc5.com/ Mallory Dittmer https://www.dittmerforcongress.com/ Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.

Meet the Primary Candidates: Congressional District 3 and 4

The fight for South Carolina’s future looks very different depending on which district you live in. In Congressional District 3, Democratic candidate Eunice Laemacher makes the case for expanding healthcare access, lowering everyday costs, and investing in housing and infrastructure in one of South Carolina’s fastest-growing regions. In Congressional District 4, Republican challenger Robert Lee argues the GOP has drifted from its promises, calling for more government transparency, less foreign intervention, and a tougher stance on political corruption. Two Upstate races, two very different visions for where South Carolina goes next. 00:00 Introduction 01:48 Eunice Lehmacher 17:52 Robert E. Lee Eunice Lehmacher https://www.euniceforsc.com/ Robert E.
