Carolina Roll Call

Today, the Carolina Roll Call sat down with Brant Tomlinson who is running Kristin Cobb. While both are Republicans they are completely different aspects of how they see education, it has really divided the party . Brant was born right here in South Carolina, a place she calls home. He is excited to get to work for Kershaw County. We hope you will take a listen and learn more about SC's most competitive race!

Today, the Carolina Roll Call sat down with Ellen Weaver who is running Kathy Maness. While both are Republicans they are completely different in many aspects of how they see education. This race has really divided the party on whom they should support . Ellen was born right here in South Carolina a place she calls home. Growing up, her family was far from wealthy. She said she always be grateful for the sacrifices her parents made to ensure she had the educational and spiritual foundation she needed to succeed in life. We hope you will take a listen and learn more about SC's most competitive Superintendent of Education race!

In nine weeks, we prove that civility isn’t too far gone. We demonstrated that the other side isn’t our enemy. But we discovered there is a considerable divide in society. We fix it by having the impossible and meaningful conversations!! We are so excited that you guys joined us this season. We decided to step out, and we decided to push the truth. We took a risk to challenge statements and hold our leaders accountable!  One of the biggest things we aim to do is push the importance of not just voting, but how important it is to love your neighbor—that looks or thinks differently than you. This has been a crazy election cycle and a crazy year but who you are, still remain the same.  As we finish this season, we hope we have inspired you to love those and think differently than you. To be careful about our words and learn to disagree without being disagreeable!

We sat down with Rev. Jesse Jackson, just a day before the election. Rev. Jackson has been on the fight for civil rights his entire adult life. He marched side by side, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When Dr. King was killed, Rev. Jackson was standing right beside him. After King’s death, Rev. Jackson did not stop, he kept going. He has continued to fight and be a voice for many people across the country. He continues to hold the government accountable. We sat down with him to talk South Carolina politics because he is from Greenville, South Carolina. He was born and raised in South Carolina. Jackson spoke on the US Senate race, he spoke about why it was so important for you young people to get out and vote for Jamie Harrison. He spoke about what “new” south looks like and how we get there.

We enjoyed sitting down with Pamela Evette and Emma Catherine Scott talking about races in South Carolina. We talked about her friendship with Lindsey Graham and Congressman Tom Rice, and why SC should re-elect them! Pamela Evette is the first Republican woman to serve as Lt. Governor. We will talked a bout CARES ACT money, we talked about COVID-19 and we asked when Governor McMaster will extend bar hours across that state.
