President Trump was in attendance for the annual Palmetto Bowl this past Saturday, November 25, 2023. Lt. Governor Evette was pleased to greet President Trump at the airport alongside her husband David, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, Governor Henry McMaster, and First Lady Peggy McMaster.
Following the game, Lt. Governor Evette posted on her social media channels: “It was wonderful to welcome you back to SC President Trump! Thank you for joining us for a great game, always making my family feel special, and bringing good luck to our Clemson Tigers. Trump War Room.”
According to reporting by Alexa Jurado and Joseph Bustos at The State, “The TV broadcast on the SEC Network briefly featured a shot of Trump from a box in the stadium during the second quarter of the game, showing Trump standing between S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster and Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and interacting positively with the crowd below him.”
CONWAY, S.C. (WBTW) — South Carolina’s lieutenant governor visited Coastal Carolina University on Thursday to talk about workforce development with the College of Graduate and Continuing Studies.
Representatives from Santee Cooper and Conway Medical Center also talked about how the workforce needs to continue to improve and grow.
“Here in South Carolina, we’ve been very focused on creating the workforce of tomorrow, making sure that the world-class companies that are coming here to our state have the workforce that they need,” Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette said.
The Grand Strand is one of the fastest-growing areas in the country but ranks low for people obtaining college degrees. Recent U.S. Census Data shows nearly 30% of the state’s residents 25 or older have a bachelor’s degree. In Horry County, that number is about 24%.
CCU officials acknowledge the need for higher education credentials across the state. Evette said colleges influence the workforce starting at a young age.
“Many of the skills that we find our employees are lacking are soft skills, things that you learn in that first job,” Evette said. “So for all the parents that are watching, realize we need your children.”
Evette said the problem isn’t limited to South Carolina. It’s a worldwide issue. She also said colleges can help give hope to young adults looking for a path while solving the current problems employers face.
“When you get your kids employed and they get out there and see the real world and they see what’s going on and they see the difference that education makes, it inspires them to make sure that they stay in school, they do well,” she said.
Dr. Lee Brown, the dean of CCU’s College of Graduate and Continuing Studies, said they created the program two years ago and have seen a significant increase in adult enrollment.
“Trying to be flexible, convenient, for that mom that has to work and has an issue with daycare or has to be home in the evening, being able to provide that access to education is where we sort of hang our hat on,” Brown said.
CCU recently began offering a program called CCU Complete that allows students who have earned some college credit in the past but did not finish to return and take up to five classes for $100 each.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A public education campaign designed to increase the public’s understanding of the health and environmental benefits of safely recycling household batteries is launching today in South Carolina, announced the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).
South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette joined Myra Reece, director of DHEC Environmental Affairs, and Cheryl Coleman, Senior Vice President of Sustainability and Advocacy for ISRI, the Voice of the Recycled Materials Industry™, at a news conference today to promote “Take Charge: Be Battery Smart.” This educational campaign focuses on the importance of properly using and recycling household batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries, which are a type of rechargeable battery. The campaign is created by DHEC’s Office of Solid Waste Reduction & Recycling in conjunction with ISRI, with support from several partner organizations.
“This is an important initiative that affects every South Carolina family,” said Lieutenant Governor Pamela S. Evette. “This campaign will help educate families about the hidden dangers of batteries and the economic benefits of recycling. By responsibly managing batteries, we not only protect our loved ones but also contribute to preserving the critical minerals that make up batteries.”
Batteries are required for many household essentials, such as remote controls, kids’ toys, clocks and watches, cell phones, laptops and more. Batteries come in various chemistries, types, and sizes to fit different uses. Household batteries are safe to use when properly following the manufacturer’s instructions; however, damaged or improperly stored, used or disposed of batteries – particularly rechargeable lithium-ion batteries – can explode or catch fire.
“The ‘Take Charge: Be Battery Smart’ campaign addresses the lack of consumer awareness about the proper use and management of batteries, which have become such a commonplace item in our day-to-day lives,” said Myra Reece, DHEC’s Director of Environmental Affairs. “We want South Carolinians to understand that household batteries need to be properly recycled in order to limit the potential harm they can cause to people and the environment.”
Lithium-ion batteries, which are a popular type of rechargeable battery, are easy to puncture and can cause fires in garbage trucks and recycling centers and landfills. This can injure those essential workers, including the firefighters who then need to respond. A 2021 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revealed that, between 2013 and 2020, at least 245 fires at 64 solid waste facilities were caused or likely caused by lithium metal or lithium-ion batteries.
“The ‘Take Charge: Be Battery Smart’ campaign is a bold first step toward educating the public on the dangers of improperly storing and disposing of batteries — and raising awareness on this growing problem,” said ISRI President Robin Wiener. “Educating the public on this critical issue is important for the safety of our member companies and employees — and also for first responders and the communities around us. We are proud to partner with the South Carolina DHEC to launch this important campaign that will ultimately keep South Carolinians out of harm’s way.”
Most South Carolina residents have opportunities to recycle batteries at no cost and are encouraged to learn more about battery recycling in their communities.
The Call2Recycle program offers about 16,000 drop-off sites nationwide for household battery recycling, including Best Buy, Lowe’s and The Home Depot. The retailer Batteries Plus also offers recycling options. Additionally, some South Carolina counties have household hazardous material collection programs or collection events that accept certain types of batteries, both single-use and rechargeable.
“Properly recycling batteries keeps millions of pounds of potentially harmful materials in use and out of the landfill and reclaims critical metals such as cobalt and lithium needed for the manufacturing of new products,” said Reece. “Recycling — and recycling batteries in particular — is one of the ways to a sustainable economy and healthy environment.”
Another critical focus of Be Battery Smart is educating the public about the choking hazards posed by small, shiny button batteries. Children are especially at risk for serious injury or even death if they swallow a button battery or put one inside their ear or nose. DHEC and ISRI encourage parents, guardians and caregivers to be informed of how dangerous the small round coin or button batteries can be.
A national study published in 2022 by Safe Kids Worldwide and Nationwide Children’s Hospital showed that a child aged 18 or under visited an emergency room every 75 minutes with a battery-related injury, and button batteries accounted for an estimated 85% of those cases.
Several public information resources, including fact sheets, posters, battery identification charts and more, are all available at BeBatterySmart.com. South Carolinians are encouraged to learn about household batter safety and to share this information with friends, family, coworkers and students.
“Take Charge: Be Battery Smart” is centered on household batteries. It’s important to note that businesses must follow all requirements for both large and small quantity hazardous waste generators.

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette talked about the importance of education and a burgeoning workforce at the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce’s annual Legislative Luncheon Tuesday, Oct. 31, at the Summerville Country Club.
Along with Evette, the 93rd Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina and the state’s first female Republican lieutenant governor, state legislators Sen. Sean Bennett, Sen. Sandy Senn, Rep. Chris Murphy, Rep. Gary Brewer and Rep. Robby Robbins spoke about adopted legislation and current legislation being considered in Columbia and what it could mean for the greater Summerville area.
Evette first spoke about the role South Carolina’s technical schools play in the future of the state’s commerce and economic development and efforts to get young people involved in the workforce.
“When I became lieutenant governor, along with the governor, we decided to use our platform or microphone to really talk about the technical schools, and what a big impact they have because everywhere I go, every business I talk to, relies on the workforce provided through our technical colleges,” she said. “When I first became lieutenant governor – this is kind of a daunting statistic – we only had 42% of our population that had secondary degrees or certifications, and with the amount of industry that we have in South Carolina, and continuing to come in, we should have been at like 71 or 72%. So, we really have a lot of ground to make up.”
Evette mentioned the importance of workforce scholarships and said they are “making all the difference” in the state’s employment numbers. Workforce Scholarships for the Future cover tuition and required fees at the state’s 16 technical colleges for South Carolina residents enrolled in a high-demand field such as manufacturing, healthcare, computer science and information technology, transportation, distribution and logistics, or construction. She said these scholarships give people a real opportunity to join and thrive in the workforce.
Employees with basic communication and problem-solving skills is also something businesses desire but have difficulty finding, she said.
“I fancy myself a business person, so I like to be out in the community,” she said. “I like to sit across the table from businesses. I like to figure out what we can do to really make businesses grow. As I travel around, I keep hearing, first and foremost from businesses, can you please teach soft skills in the classroom? We’re getting these great kids out of college and they don’t know how to talk. They don’t know how to solve problems. Can you just teach that?”
Evette then spoke about the importance of students learning fiscal responsibility, saying many young people “do not know the value of a dollar” or how long it takes to pay off loans.
“You can’t teach fiscal responsibility to somebody who’s never had a job because they have no idea what they have to give up to earn a dollar,” she said. “I started going around the state encouraging parents to get their kids working again. Our mom-and pop-companies need our kids to start working again. That’s why our favorite coffee shop’s not open on Sundays anymore and you can’t go get an ice cream cone after eight o’clock. There’s nobody to work.”
Evette said South Carolina’s small businesses and young adults need the experience of having a first job and she will be working with the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) to focus on youth employment.
“Youth employment in South Carolina is the lowest it’s ever been,” she said. “And it’s not just here, it’s everywhere, and it’s not just everywhere in our country. When I was in Germany, I asked them what their three pain points were. It was energy, employee workforce and immigration – the same things we’re dealing with here in our country, they’re dealing with there. Getting those kids working is really a big deal.”
The national program Coaches vs. Overdoses was officially introduced to the Myrtle Beach area Friday night.
Coaches vs. Overdoses is an opioid abatement program which raises awareness for proper drug disposal and is attempting to fight the country’s opioid epidemic. It was active at Friday’s Myrtle Beach vs. North Myrtle Beach football game, distributing drug disposal packets to fans in attendance.
Supporting the initiative, South Carolina Lt. Governor Pamela Evette was at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium serving as an honorary captain.
Evette was in Myrtle Beach to support the efforts of the Coaches vs. Overdoses campaign and to share the group’s key messaging, including phrases like “one pill can kill.”
“This is great, because this is who we want to reach,” Evette said of the program being able to have a presence at Friday’s well-attended rivalry game.
“We want to reach the athletes and we want to reach parents. We want them to take the playbook that has been put together and make them understand. I have three kids, and they don’t think this kind of stuff is going to come to their school, their neighborhood or their friend group. But the shocking reality is that we are losing kids as young as 10 years old due to the fentanyl crisis.”
The new national pilot program has now launched in five states, with South Carolina being a state where efforts have been significant.
South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association Executive Director Scott Earley — who was the head football coach at Myrtle Beach High School from 2000-2008 — is leading the charge to promote the Coaches vs. Overdoses program in the state.
Earley said after meeting with various leaders and seeing its significant effects in other states, it was an obvious decision to make this area a key initiative for the association.
“My charge is to inform and educate,” Earley said. “And looking at the data, that produces positive success when it comes to fighting against opioids. So for me, this just made sense. I wanted to try to get this thing off the ground and grow it. Then, if the tidal wave comes here to the great state of South Carolina, we might have some preventative measures in place that can cause us not to suffer what these other states have.”
Coaches vs. Overdoses began with Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy White’s desire to turn a tragic situation into a positive lesson for others. White lost a son-in-law to a fake pain pill, and he is now helping to raise two grandchildren due to the tragedy.
The program is attempting to underscore the importance of disposing of unused drugs, which is why it is handing out pocket-sized DisposeRx disposal kits across the country. Friday’s event in Myrtle Beach coincided with Saturday’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day as well as October being Substance Abuse Prevention Month.
Earley said his goal is to help athletes understand how difficult it can be to spot fake pills. He hopes the messaging of Coaches vs. Overdoses can help prevent potential tragedies across the state of South Carolina.
“A lot of our athletes across the country who are losing their lives are losing it by accident,” Earley said. “But they just haven’t been educated on it. I think this thing got here a lot faster than we thought it was coming. So, I want to be a part of that [education].”
Evette said efforts like Friday night’s are valuable for everyone, particularly students at the local level.
She hopes that the initiative can provide valuable awareness in schools across the state and says that can start with providing information to athletes.
“A lot of our high school athletes, they are leaders in the school,” Evette said. “They are role models in the school. So we want to make sure they are armed with the right information and they pass it on to their peer groups.”
Earley’s efforts with Coaches vs. Overdoses is just getting started, and he hopes that Friday night’s introduction into the Myrtle Beach area is the beginning of a charge to “prevent, not solve” issues.
The program hopes to continue to share key statistics that they provide, including:
The rate of overdose deaths among U.S. teenagers nearly doubled in 2020
70% of teens say unused prescriptions were their first source of acquiring drugs
65% of teens are less likely to consider misusing Rx drugs if warned about fentanyl in counterfeits
Friday was not the end of the efforts in the Myrtle Beach area. It is expected that a further emphasis will be placed on the program in December at the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives North vs. South Bowl at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium.
Earley is excited to help bring the message to the Myrtle Beach area.
“We wanted Myrtle Beach to be a part of this because they do so much,” Earley said. “The city of Myrtle Beach has been so great to all of us over the years. It was just one of those things that really worked out.
“Myrtle Beach will always be home to me. It will always be a special place in my heart. It’s just a good place to do things… The more people who hear the message, the more people get the message. It’s kind of like going to church.”
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette was in Myrtle Beach on Tuesday to speak at Grand Strand Magazine’s annual Women in Business event.
The event was held at Dunes Golf and Beach Club and hosted about 150 women. It highlighted successful female leaders along the Grand Strand.
Evette says South Carolina ranks No. 4 in the country for the number of women-owned businesses. She said as a business owner herself, it’s important to share success stories and make sure the next generation of women knows they’re welcome in all fields.
“I think that’s a statistic that kind of gets skirted sometimes and people are really excited when they hear that,” Evette said. “So, I love to come and talk about that and I just love to champion women.”
Evette said her and Gov. Henry McMaster reach out to colleges, attend events like Tuesday’s and talk to students in a way that encourages all people to lead in business.
That’s a message that Ashleigh Dean’s business, Resting Brow Face, is built upon.
“I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to help people. I wanted to make a difference while I’m alive,” she said. “I had problems with my skin for a long time and I’ve always kind of felt like I wanted to help other women and make them feel comfortable.”
At the age of 24, Dean, a licensed esthetician, opened her hair and skincare studio in The Market Common. But being a young woman brought its own set of obstacles to the table.
“I felt like people at first maybe wouldn’t get to things as soon as when I needed them because they thought I wasn’t going to be as serious about it,” she said. “So, I definitely had to step up my game with my assertiveness as far as my age and me being a woman too.”
Now, Dean has been the one-woman show behind Resting Brow Face on Hackler Street for more than six months.
She said the best part of her day is seeing women of all ages, backgrounds and skin types who come in for her services and leave feeling better about themselves.
That, in turn, makes Dean feel good too.
She isn’t stopping at just one business. She said she plans to add another type of wellness studio on the south end of the Grand Strand.
Local industry, Palmetto Synthetics, has been producing thermoplastic fibers to companies across the globe since 1997. On September 13, owners Henry and David Poston were recognized by Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette for their 25 years of leadership in the textile industry. Palmetto Synthetics produces materials that are used in a myriad of applications such as military grade clothing and inside automobiles. The industry is also celebrating six expansions since opening. Evette toured the facility and presented the men with a brass plate engraved with the Department of Commerce and Governor’s Seal.
“I love talking about new businesses, but I also love talking about businesses that have been here so long that have created a family and a culture and a reputation in rural areas that are not rural anymore,” said Evette. “They are continuing to grow, and we are needing more and more people in our great state that want to be a part of our manufacturing framework.”
Leading the recycling and sustainability industry for over 25 years, Palmetto Synthetics is supportive of our community and workforce pipeline through initiatives such as the Apprenticeship Carolina program.
They could have started their company anywhere but chose Kingstree because of the people. “It didn’t take very long to decide where to build because part of the reason is the good people,” said Henry Poston. “We can talk about all the good that we’ve done but without the people here we wouldn’t be here”.
Lt. Gov. Evette was elected on November 6, 2018. Evette is an advocate of getting kids between high school and college into the workforce through programs such as Apprenticeship Carolina, which Palmetto Synthetics is involved in. Evette is also a champion of “Grab A Bag”, a campaign through Palmetto Pride, that encourages communities to pick up litter. In August, she was awarded the 2023 Recycling Impact Award for demonstrating leadership in recycling, resource conservation, and sustainability in the U.S.
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) — South Carolina is pushing to be an attractive destination for tech companies, and our state’s Lieutenant Governor said the key is being a national leader in stem education.
Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette visited the Grand Strand today to speak at a tech conference.
She was the host speaker Wednesday at the SC Decoded Conference in North Myrtle Beach.
She said that having these types of jobs and education resources available is crucial to our area if we want the younger generations to stay here.
The Lieutenant Governor also said that while Myrtle Beach has always been routed in hospitality, it’s now expanding into a new industry.
“With DC Blox announcing they’re coming to Myrtle Beach, basically bringing transatlantic fiber in here and being a data center. So, what that’s saying is this is the area you want to be in if you’re going to be in the cyber computer science arena,” said Lt. Gov. Evette.
In order to keep attracting those companies and providing future generations with jobs, Evette said education is the key.
“We have an opportunity. There are great choices in this field, and we as a state, want our kids to stay here. We’re looking out into the future that we are educating our kids for the jobs of the future,” she said.
In 2018, just 43% of all high schools in South Carolina offered computer science courses. Now 93% offer them, which is number two in the country.
She said we need to introduce kids to stem fields at earlier ages.
“It’s never too young. You know I first learned here in Myrtle Beach about STEM and STEAM doing robotics. They start them out very young with Legos getting the dexterity to put things together to create and build and they continue to ramp that up each year,” said Lt. Gov. Evette.
The leader of FIRST Robotics competitions in South Carolina tells me they have kids as young as four years old participating.
“When you go look at kids, they’re using technology. They’re using their iPads. They’re using all these resources and sometimes it’s just to have an environment they can relax in. What we try to do is flip that brain the other way and say how can we actually show the kids how to build that app,” said Chris Cortez, FIRST South Carolina. He added, “They’re using encoding skills that we teach them to build those apps. So they can actually understand at a fundamental level of actually how this comes to be.”
Cortez said FIRST wants to give all kids the opportunity to be introduced to STEM fields and have mentors to be able to help guide them in the industry.
“We also want to empower the students that are in our programs, and future members of our programs to stay in the state of South Carolina. There are great opportunities here and we are going to help build that economic boom of those STEM leaders with our programs,” said Cortez. He went on to add, “When they say there’s great jobs here, we want to be a part of that and say we’re helping build those opportunities for those kids to be successful for those businesses. So those businesses can come here and say ‘You know what there is a great workforce here.’ ”
The Lieutenant Governor agrees that equipping students with the right resources will be crucial to continued expansions into STEM careers for South Carolina. It’s not just kids she wants to be educated either. She also wants to see more veterans use scholarship opportunities to live in South Carolina and enter the STEM field.
“We know that cyber is the future, technology is the future, and we want to make sure that we equip all South Carolina students with the knowledge that they need for these amazing careers,” said Lt. Gov. Evette.
Many tech companies were on hand for the meet and greet style event with speakers on topics like A.I. and cyber security.
The award, presented during the NLGA’s 2023 annual meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, is presented annually by ISRI in partnership with the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA), honouring a lieutenant governor demonstrating leadership in recycling, resource conservation, and sustainability in the U.S.
“Throughout her life, Lt. Governor Evette has been a champion of recycling initiatives, making an immeasurable impact on South Carolina,” said ISRI President Robin Wiener. “A true steward of the recycled materials industry and a dedicated public servant, she has demonstrated leadership in support of policies that recognize how valuable, high-quality recycled materials can support America’s sustainable supply chain. It is an honour to present her with the 2023 Recycling Impact Award, highlighting her contributions to critical recycling efforts.”
The granddaughter of a steel mill worker, Lt. Gov. Evette learned early on about the recycled material industry’s role as part of the global manufacturing supply chain. During her time in office, she has leaned on her experiences, along with her entrepreneurial background, to lead one of her key initiatives, ‘Grab A Bag SC’, a statewide effort encouraging communities across the state to pick up litter and recycle.
“This award serves as a collective reminder that every instance of recycling, regardless of its scale, truly impacts our communities and the pride we hold for them. Industries in our state count on recycled plastics this isn’t just an environmental issue but also a business issue,” said Lt. Gov. Pamela S. Evette. “I look forward to continuing to lead the charge against litter in South Carolina and hope this inspires others to take part in a recycling initiative in their community.
“The impact of our industry touches every aspect of life, from protecting the environment to ensuring the health of the manufacturing supply chain and supporting our communities through well-paying jobs,” said Mark Fredrickson, ISRI member and area manager of the South Carolina-based Commercial Metals Company (CMC) who presented Lt. Gov. Evette with the award. “Lt. Gov. Evette understands the importance of recycled materials. We are grateful for her support of our industry and the core values of ISRI’s member companies.”
Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette was the keynote speaker at the “She Means Business” last Thursday at Catawba Falls Events Center.
She discussed how being a woman and business owner influences her political decisions at the Aug. 10 Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce event, which drew about 300 people.
The night included a cocktail hour, dinner and dessert, a welcome speech by Angelica Figueroa with Sharonview Federal Credit Union, an introduction by Scott Broome with MUSC Health — Lancaster Division and a gift from Beckee Garris with the Catawba Nation.
Evette’s background
Evette is South Carolina’s second female lieutenant governor out of the 93 in the state’s history. She is the second in command to S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster.
She is also a mother of three and owner of Quality Business Solutions, a payroll, HR and benefits services firm. She is from Travelers Rest, SC.
Evette started work as an accountant after college and then started her business. She grew it to the size of a national company, and decided to jump ship to politics through the advice of three friends.
“Those three women did a ton to get me on the path that I’m on,” Evette said. “I met the governor (McMaster), and he asked me to run as his lieutenant governor.”
“So, not only am I the first female Republican lieutenant governor, but I’m the first lieutenant governor ever elected with a governor,” she said. “Lots of firsts — it’s almost a dream when you think I’ll be in the history books for all these things. It’s so cool and so surreal.”
Evette has served as lieutenant governor for five years, and was reelected last year. She was sworn in for her second term in January. Evette said she has spent the majority of her time helping businesses around the state, including cutting taxes, create a thriving
her time helping businesses around the state, including cutting taxes, create a thriving environment for businesses to excel and “creating the workforce of tomorrow.”
Focus on education
“As a mom, I have three children of my own, and education is really important,” Evette said. “I think we just have to make sure that our kids know how to think for themselves, that they can critically think and that we’re giving them the tools they need.”
Evette said that no matter what she accomplishes in her career, her biggest accomplishment is her children being healthy, happy and stable. She said her success with Quality Business Solutions, coupled with her political trailblazing for women, has given her the opportunity to leave a legacy for her children to follow.
During her speech, Evette highlighted her three focus areas for political policy: businesses, education and post-COVID economic stabilization and success.
Under her watch with McMaster, teachers received the highest pay raise for teachers on the East Coast this year — a $2,500 salary raise and a $2,500 bonus.
Evette also discussed the need to change society’s view of trade schools and technical colleges, as not every student thrives in a four-year college environment. She encouraged guests to change the negative narrative around non-traditional higher education, and highlighted the amazing jobs boosting the S.C. economy from trade and technical schools. Her son attended Greenville Technical College, and Evette said she is proud to support technical colleges in the Legislature and her personal life.
McMaster and Evette implemented $75 million in workforce scholarships statewide. “We want to make sure everyone has a quality job, a self-sustaining job,” she said.
Evette also highlighted the importance of getting children to start working at an earlier age, because those lower-level jobs support small businesses and teach fiscal responsibility. Evette emphasized how pro-business she and the governor are, noting that South Carolina is fourth in the nation for women-owned businesses.
“I want to thank you all so much, and thank you to the chamber for what you do,” Evette said. “We couldn’t do what we do without you helping keep our businesses thriving and growing.”
“I love talking about South Carolina’s fingerprints,” she said. “I love talking about our amazing South Carolina spirit.”
