I thank these great Democrats for agreeing to serve on the Transition Committee. We have a lot of work to do to turn South Carolina blue, and these accomplished and thoughtful committee members will ensure that we hit the ground running. With Republican policies doing real harm, South Carolinians are counting on Democrats to offer alternatives that will improve the lives of our people.
It is a great honor to undertake this critical work alongside these committee members, and alongside all of you. Have a great weekend.
Trav Robertson
Chair, South Carolina Democratic Party
