After “Political Spanking,” Ehlers Joins Hoard in Backing Joe Dill
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher

After falling short of an outright majority in the June 9 Republican primary, James Hoard and John Ehlers threw their support behind former Greenville County Councilman Joe Dill as he heads into a June 23 runoff against Travis Forrester with a sizable first-place lead.
Candidate John Ehlers found a humorous way to describe what happened in the June 9 Republican primary.
After losing to former Greenville County Councilman Joe Dill, Ehlers told those gathered in front of the media that his elder in the race had given him a political “spanking.” It was a moment of comic relief, but it also captured the larger point of Monday’s endorsement event: the primary contest had ended, and two former opponents were now urging their supporters to back Dill in the runoff.
Former Greenville County Council District 17 candidates James Hoard and John Ehlers stood with former Councilman Joe Dill on Monday to endorse him in the Republican runoff against Travis Forrester.
Jury Deadlocks in Case Against Pro-Life Advocate Anastasia Rogers

- By Life Legal Defense Foundation

SAN FRANCISCO — A San Francisco court today declared a mistrial in the criminal case against pro-life advocate Anastasia Rogers after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict following testimony last week and thoughtful deliberation this week.
The case arose from a 14-second social media video contrasting Anastasia’s peaceful sidewalk presence with Planned Parenthood’s abortion model. Four months after the video was posted, prosecutors charged her with intimidation under California’s Freedom of Access to Clinic and Church Entrances (FACE) Act, alleging that the video constituted unlawful intimidation of an abortion clinic escort.

Is Greenville County’s Next Administrator Already Here?
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher | Political Analysis

A discussion starter on how Greenville County should evaluate its next leader, not who that leader should be.

When discussions begin about replacing a county administrator, a familiar phrase almost always follows: "Conduct a national search."
The reasoning sounds sensible enough. A county government as large and complex as Greenville County should cast the widest net possible in hopes of finding the most qualified candidate. The assumption, whether stated directly or not, is that the best person for the job is probably somewhere else.
Perhaps that is the case.
But perhaps Greenville County should begin by asking a different question: What if the best candidate is already here?
For decades, Greenville County has grown into one of South Carolina's largest and most influential counties. It manages a substantial budget, oversees major infrastructure projects, balances the needs of urban and rural communities, and serves a population that continues to expand year after year. None of that happened by accident. Behind every budget, every capital project, and every department is a team of public servants who have spent years learning the inner workings of county government.

- By Terry M. Thacker

“We're going to win this race,” said Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Ralph Norman this Monday morning to a packed crowd that filled the parking lot in front of Majesty Music on Wade Hampton Boulevard.
The occasion was the announcement of his running mate, Adam Morgan, a former member of the state legislature and current director of Majesty Music, a Christian publishing business. Norman described the duo as “the most conservative ticket for governor.”
“Can we continue with another eight or sixteen years of failed leadership, of crumbling roads, of corruption from elected officials, from inaction, from rabid liberal appointments who threaten your most foundational liberties?” asked Morgan.
