YDSC ENDORSES ELIZABETH COLBERT BUSCH FOR FIRST DISTRICT SPECIALSouth Carolina Needs a More Moderate Voice in Congress
The Young Democrats of South Carolina are proud to finally endorse Elizabeth Colbert Busch for the
special election in the First Congressional District.
It is clear to us that the choice Democratic voters face next month on March 19and on May 7has neverbeen clearer. With Skelly backing out of the race and endorsing Colbert Busch, we feel it is now time to
unleash the resources of young, creative, and entrepreneurial Democrats throughout the First District and
throughout the state to give South Carolina a more moderate voice in Congress.
Colbert Busch, the Director of Business Development at Clemson Universitys Restoration Institute, is a
seasoned negotiator. Having worked previously for the South Carolina Ports Authority and major shipping
companies AMI and Orient Overseas Container Line (USA) before taking her current job at Clemson, she
has experienced firsthand how business and government can cooperate for the greater good of all. Since
starting at Clemsons Restoration Institute, she has opened the door to thousands of new energy jobs and
the largest wind turbine testing facility on Earth.
Colbert Busch will be a strong voice not just for the people of the First and for South Carolina as a whole,
but also to strengthen American trade influence and the clean energy economyall of which can stand to
gain the jobs South Carolinas young professionals are studying for.
We offer our endorsement independent of the state Democratic Party, which continues to host a primary
for the First Congressional District on March 19. We strongly urge Young Democrats in the First to vote for
Elizabeth Colbert Busch on March 19 (and again on May 7). Young and College Democrats are already
on the ground working the Colbert Busch campaign, and we are just getting started.
The Young Democrats of South Carolina (YDSC) is the official youth voter outreach wing of the South Carolina
Democratic Party (SCDP). We work aggressively to encourage voters under the age of 36 to actively participate inthe democratic process while educating young people on the core values and principles of the Democratic Party. Our
mission is to unite and educate the lives, minds, and practices of youth voters and serve collectively as the youth voice
of the South Carolina Democratic Party.
