I am a life long resident of Dorchester County and I will not be voting for Heyward Hutson on June 10th. You see, he is a champion of lost causes and his supporters will say most anything to get him re-elected. The latest claim by his supporters is that he will work to stop the extension of the Berlin Myers expressway, a project that has been on the books for twenty years. All DOT right of ways have been obtained - there is no way this project is not moving forward, unless Mr. Hutson plans to sabotage Dorchester County's application for the road funding with the State Infrastructure Bank.

When my late father, John Tupper, Sr., was the chairman of the Board for the YMCA, Mr. Hutson fought the downtown expansion of the Y in Summerville every step of the way. Ultimately, he was unsuccessful. However, he cost the Y money and time to preserve a building which had outlived its usefulness. Again, he was a champion for a lost cause that cost him nothing to fight and cost the YMCA resources, time and energy.

Mr. Hutson was recently the lone dissenting vote on a House Bill that passed 108 to 1. Not only did he vote against the bill, he insulted another Representative on the House Floor during the vote. This is not the type of person we need representing us in Columbia.

Mr. Hutson is so concerned about putting Dorchester County back 40 years, when we need elected officials who will work to solve problems and improve our quality of life in the next 40 years. Mr. Hutson is now 72 years old and does not have time to earn the seniority it takes to get things done for Dorchester County, it is time for him to retire. Please join me in voting for Jenny Horne on June 10th. She is a professional who will work hard to get us money for badly needed road projects without insulting and alienating people we need to help us make things happen in Dorchester and Charleston Counties.

Sincerely,

Jack Tupper (John M. Tupper, Jr.)
