The GOP primary for Dorchester’s House District 94 pits familiar political opponents Jenny Horne and Rep. Heyward Hutson against one another for a rematch.

Hutson won the Summerville-area seat by a less than 300-vote margin in October in a special election, and the two competitors will square off again on June 10.

“My philosophy is, South Carolina can be the first in education, the first in per capita income,” said Horne, a 35-year-old lawyer. “We can be the first in job creation and job growth, we just have to work together to do it.”

Hutson, 72, retired Army officer, said he is the right choice.

“I invite everyone to look at my record and they will see that I have done everything possible to accomplish what I have set out to do,” he said.

Horne has raised $25,846.92 for the election, according to quarterly records. Hutson raised $2,501.93. He noted that he does not employ campaign consultants, on which Horne has spent at least $8,000.

Horne said improving the way public education is delivered is a priority. She wants education to be more relevant for students in a global economy. One way to do that is make education more technology-driven and offer more vocational opportunities, which also would help the drop-out rate, she said. (more…)

I would be honored to have your support, but first, let me briefly explain why I’m running and what I hope to accomplish.

As a native of Dorchester County and a small business owner, I understand the importance of neighborhoods, hard work, fiscal responsibility and personal integrity. With your help, I will fight to apply conservative, family-oriented values to State Government.

For an in-depth list of my goals as your next State Representative, please visit the Issues Page.

As to my personal background, my husband Marc and I were both raised in Dorchester County. We have deep roots here, and we wouldn’t raise our family anywhere else!

That is why I want to take our Low Country values to Columbia and accomplish great things for South Carolina, especially our community here in Dorchester and Charleston counties. There is a need for positive change to move our state forward, and I would be deeply honored if you were willing to stand with me.

Like you, I’m tired of politics as usual. We want leaders who will offer honest answers and real solutions. If you will allow me the opportunity, I will work hard to earn and keep your trust. Thank you for stopping by!

Sincerely,

Jenny
