Sadly, her opponent, Peter McCoy, who has held the seat for two years, has turned down the invitation to appear at this event. Perhaps he doesn't think voters need to know where he stands. Maybe he would like to avoid defending his voting record of the past two years.
Apparently, he has excused himself from this event stating that the location, the Berkeley County Electric Co-op at 3351 Maybank Highway on Johns Island is not home to his constituents. In fact, it is just about halfway between the voters on Kiawah and Seabrook Islands and those on James Island -- equally convenient to both.
So Carol has decided to accept the invitation of the League of Women Voters and the American Association of University Women to tell voters about herself.
We need to get out on Monday and show our support for this great candidate. Bring family, friends and neighbors out to meet Carol and hear her views. Let's show her we care about our representation in Columbia as much as she does!
And as for Peter McCoy, let's just assume that he will be represented at this forum, too...
