Democrat-Turned-Republican Pascoe Makes Third Appearance Before Greenville County GOP
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
First Judicial Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe, a candidate for Attorney General running as a Republican, addressed the Greenville County Republican Party this past Monday at their quarterly business meeting.
Pascoe, a long-time Democrat, announced his change of allegiance to the Republican Party in April of last year, in time to run for the seat being vacated by Alan Wilson, who is himself a candidate for governor.
Savvy politicians know that it is a long shot to run for statewide office in South Carolina as a Democrat. In fact, the last time a Democrat was elected Attorney General in the Palmetto State was Thomas T. Medlock in 1990. The last Democrat to be elected to any statewide office in the state was Jim Rex, who was elected as Secretary of Education in 2006.

A pair of lawsuits challenging state protections for girls’ sports has reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where the nation’s highest judges appear inclined to side with state governments seeking to prevent biological boys from competing as girls. Oral arguments were heard Tuesday in the cases Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ, originating from Idaho’s and West Virginia’s state laws, respectively, barring biological males from competing in female sports. In both cases, Republican-appointed justices seemed to favor upholding the state laws.

Johnson: Tax Dollars 'Will Never Be Used to Pay for Abortion. Period. Full Stop. End of Sentence.'

- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
They’ve only been in session a week, but it’s already been a rocky new year for Republican leaders. Despite a big win on appropriations that brings Congress one step closer to avoiding a government shutdown, virtually everything has been overshadowed by the stormy clouds of the health care debate. First, President Trump dropped an atomic bomb on his party with his sudden “flexibility” on taxpayer-funded abortion. Then, 17 members of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) majority decided to become the first Republicans ever to vote for the expensive failure known as Obamacare. But as the speaker knows better than anyone: since when has the GOP made anything easy?
Compromise Reached, But Public Trust Remains Unsettled After County Administrator Vote

The Contract Is Signed. Trust Is Not.
After multiple meetings and two separate votes, one issue is dominating Greenville County’s political conversation: the County Administrator’s employment contract.
Recently, Greenville County Council finalized an 18-month contract extension for County Administrator Joe Kernell. It was a decision that has left many county citizens frustrated, skeptical, and questioning whether the new council elected in 2024 is delivering the change voters expected.
With the contract signed, the public’s mistrust of the County Administrator is now spilling over onto the new council members.
It appears that inside the council chambers, however, the decision was not as simple as “renew or remove.” What emerged was a compromise — one that supporters say creates stability and a path forward, while critics argue it perpetuates a status quo the public no longer trusts.

Murrell Smith, Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives, addressed the First Monday Club this past Monday. First Monday is a Republican group that hosts political and governmental speakers at their monthly luncheons.
Smith was there to inform the attendees about what to expect in the legislative session that is about to begin.
“I believe South Carolina is moving in the right direction under the leadership of Governor (Henry) McMaster and Lieutenant Governor (Pam) Evette. What they have done has really set South Carolina apart,” said Smith.
Evette was in attendance at Monday's luncheon, as was former speaker and former ambassador to Canada David Wilkins.
Congress Votes to Deregulate Showerheads While HHS Implements New Nutrition Guidelines

Getting Cleaner Inside & Out
What do showerheads and food pyramids have in common? Both have been hot topics of conversation this week in Washington, D.C., and both are about getting cleaner — and leaner! The federal government has been put on a diet. For the last year, the Trump administration has shrunk the size and scope of the bloated bureaucracy. President Donald Trump promised on his campaign trail to scrap ten regulations for every one that he proposed. Not only did he keep that promise, but the Administration also exceeded his goal. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently reported that the Trump administration eliminated 646 regulations while implementing only 5 new regulations (a 129-to-1 ratio). In doing so, the federal government has saved $211.8 billion, resulting in $600 savings per American.
