Clemson’s also a military veteran with a long history of service, and he has built his career around teaching others about leadership. We could use a few more trained leaders in Columbia and a few less politicians who just want to scare people into voting for them.
There are a lot of new people coming to South Carolina … and I’m one of them. I recently moved back here, and I’m happy with the life I’m building.
