State Representative Doug Brannon, who represents House District 38 in Northern Spartanburg County, is an attorney, however, he found himself a defendant before a roomful of RINO Hunt members acting like prosecutors at Denny’s in Greenville, Friday night.
Brannon is one of the “Spar-tanburg-Six,” a group of Spartanburg County Republican House members who joined with Democrats and voted to table and kill the school choice bill supported by the SC GOP Platform. The six Republican House members provided an ideal “textbook” example of what is wrong with the Republican Party and must be corrected if the party is to regain credibility with voters.

On the motion of Spartanburg Republican Doug Brannon, the House voted to table the Educational Opportunity Act (H. 3407) by a paper-thin margin of 60 votes to 59. The vote effectively killed the proposal and guaranteed that children in this state will remain shackled to the government school system for the foreseeable future.
