With the Republican
Primary just three weeks out, it is imperative to understand the ramifications
for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. Democrat
Congressman Joe Cunningham is coming to the end of his first term in the Democrat
controlled U.S. House of Representatives. Cunningham who barely won the seat in
2018 in a Congressional district long held by Republicans has been voting in
lock step with Nancy Pelosi and the most radical elements of the Democrat held
House. SC-01 should be considered ground zero for Republicans needing to take
back majority control—which heightens the imperative that we not make a crucial
mistake in whom we cast our vote for in the Primary!
I’ve been teaching
Constitutional Law to home schooled high school students for 17 years and have
served as a personal Constitutional mentor and advisor to several United States
Congressional and Senate candidates over the past ten years, including my
friend United States Senator Tim Scott during his run for Congress in 2010.
About eight months ago, I was asked by a mutual friend to meet candidate Kathy
Landing. I don’t typically go looking for work with candidates, I have a
full-time job and a full schedule. However, my passion for Constitutionally
limited government under the rule of law always drives me every federal
election to find and help the candidate that best fits that mold. With that in
mind, I agreed to meet with Kathy and was impressed almost immediately with not
only her genuine humility but her expertise in things financial—something sorely
lacking in the 435-spending drunk members of the United States Congress.
Shortly after that meeting Kathy asked me if I would meet with her and discuss
the United States Constitution and limited government principles as they
pertain to actual policy making. Her request demonstrated rare humility that
she was dead serious about wanting to fit those two things together.
I think it’s important
to point out that very few candidates ever consider doing something like this. If
we are honest with ourselves, we know how many times we have been burned by
candidates that simply run for office—and if they win, they jettison all the
lip service that they gave about the Constitution. Anyone paying attention to
politics knows exactly what I’m talking about. Here, we have a candidate that
is taking time out of her schedule to specifically sharpen her already keen
Constitutional moorings on issues that are crucial to conservatives and our
nation today. This is hard evidence of her commitment to being faithful to the
United States Constitution. Kathy is not playing games. she is a solid
constitutionalist who should be commended for understanding this and taking
steps to be a serious Congressional Representative governing from a limited
government and Constitutional position on every issue.
All that said, here’s
what makes Kathy the best candidate in this race. She is a solid Constitutionalist
and a financial expert that has a tremendous grasp of what is going to happen
to our nation financially if we do not take action to stop the out of control
spending taking place. This expertise enables her to offer real limited
government, free market solutions beyond the typical candidate platitudes. The
truth of the matter is she understands finance and free market economics like
none of the other candidates because she’s lived it every day for the last 35
years. We need Congressional office holders that have varying expertise AND
command of the United States Constitution in order to frame that expertise. Put
these things together and you have a very rare candidate indeed for federal
office today. Kathy’s worldview, heart, intellect, and command of things
concerning limited government make her the best candidate for us to elect and
send into the Leviathan to take back territory. We simply cannot get this one wrong, I encourage you to support her
with your vote in the Republican Primary coming up June 9th.
