Post & Courier Headline - Briatico breaks the Republican ranks to best McCauley in North Augusta election
The Post & Courier writes: Dennis Briatico upset North Augusta's election Tuesday, ousting incumbent and Mayor Pro Tempore Jenafer McCauley to become the first Democrat the city's had in recent history.
Briatico is quoted - “We ran a clean campaign. We didn’t aim for party; we aimed for people. We didn't run on extreme politics; we ran on the concerns of the community,” Briatico said. “We kept things down the middle, we were honest, we didn't sling mud. And I spoke to the heart of my community; I laid myself open, bare for all to see. I'm proud of what we’ve done.”
Upcoming Legislative Session: Key Issues to Watch
The South Carolina General Assembly convened on January 14, 2025, several significant legislative initiatives are poised for debate:
- Abortion Legislation: Following the implementation of a six-week abortion ban, further restrictions are anticipated. The S.C. Freedom Caucus advocates for a complete ban, citing constitutional rights to life.
- Cultural and Educational Policies: Proposals to limit or eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in state colleges are expected. Additionally, bipartisan support is growing for enhanced penalties for hate crimes, aiming to address and deter acts of hate-fueled violence.
These developments emphasize the turbulent and potentially disruptive nature of the forthcoming legislative session. Engaged citizens must remain informed and actively participate in the legislative process. For comprehensive coverage, please see the Statehouse Report.
