With only days left until June 8th, the voters of Hilton Head must make a decision on who is the best person to represent Hilton Head Island. We believe that this video, made by a supporter, says it all.
We hope that after watching this video, you will vote for Andy Patrick.
Please vote on June 8th. We would love to have your support.
Thank You Very Much!
The Andy Patrick Team
As I prepare for tomorrow’s Memorial Day events, I am reminded of years past. The tradition of attending events to honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice began as a young boy along side his father, a Marine proud to serve his country during the Korean War. This year will be the first in an adult lifetime that Marine does not stand in front of the VFW as “Taps” are played.
Tomorrow, my family and I will attend the Navy League service at Veterans Park in Shelter Cove. As a veteran myself, I will pause to remember those that served a greater cause than themselves and paid a price with their lives defending our freedoms.
Our prayers are with those that currently serve and their families that stand by them.
May God bless our veterans and our troops stationed around the world. And may God bless the United States of America.
You’re Invited to Attend Debate Between Candidates for SC House Seat 123
Election campaign event: Monday, May 24, at 2 p.m. in Cypress Hall at the Cypress Clubhouse: Anyone may attend, not just Cypress residents (see directions below).
This is a debate between the three Republican candidates running for S.C. District 123, representing Hilton Head Island in the S.C. House of Representatives. They are Kate Keep, Andy Patrick, and incumbent Richard Chalk. The primary election is set for June 8 and no Democratic candidates have filed for election.
At the primary, Republicans have added two advisory referendums on which voters will be asked to vote yes or no. These will be discussed at this May 24 campaign event. One question asks if the state legislature should enact protection of South Carolina citizens against a new federal requirement that everyone purchase health care insurance or pay a fine. The other asks whether the legislature should enact a specific formula to cap the growth of state spending. Light refreshments will be served at this campaign event.
Since no Democratic candidate has filed for this seat, and assuming no one files as a petition candidate, the REAL election for the seat could be at the June 8th primary and not on November 2nd. However, the primary winner must have 50% of the votes. If no one receives that number, there will be a runoff of the top two vote getters on June 22nd.
Directions if you wish to attend this debate on May 24 and you don’t live in Hilton Head Plantation: When you enter the gate to Hilton Head Plantation, say you wish to attend this event at the Cypress. If you enter the Plantation by the Cypress gate, the Cypress campus is the first right turn past the gate. Proceed to the Cypress Clubhouse at 20 Lady Slipper Lane. After entering the Clubhouse, turn left to find Cypress Hall.
ANDY PATRICK EARNS CONSERVATION ENDORSEMENT
(Columbia, SC) – Conservation Voters of South Carolina endorses Andy Patrick for election to the House of Representatives in the three way race for the District123 seat in Hilton Head and Beaufort County.
“Andy Patrick is running for the House because he cares about the quality of life in the Lowcountry, and especially on Hilton Head Island,” said Executive Director Ann Timberlake. “He will take a sensible approach to protecting South Carolina’s outdoor traditions.”
Patrick understands the value of South Carolina’s landmark Conservation Bank that works with local land trusts to voluntarily protect natural and historic places. He will fight for clean air and drinkable water because he knows new jobs are dependent upon these essential resources. And he will advocate for clean energy policies.
According to Patrick, “we need to preserve open space, protect our water and provide local governments with the tools they need to cope with explosive growth. The Lowcountry environment is our life blood and we need to be good stewards of what we have. It is what makes us unique and attracts visitors from around the world.”
Candidates earn Conservation Voters’ support through an endorsement process that includes an examination of the candidates’ records, questionnaire responses and interviews. “Andy Patrick will use his business experience to push for transparency and accountability in state government. But most importantly, he is passionate about protecting the health and safety of his community” added Timberlake.
Since 2002, Conservation Voters has been making traditional conservation values a priority for elected leaders. The independent bipartisan organization holds elected leaders accountable and publishes a biennial Conservation Scorecard.
