Lt. Col. Bill Connor - one of only three post-9/11 combat veterans seeking statewide office in South Carolina (Connor is campaigning for the office of LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR) - has today been endorsed by the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, a major S.C. daily newspaper, making him the first post-9/11 combat veteran seeking statewide office in S.C. to receive such an endorsement.
The headline reads, “Connor for lieutenant governor - Combat veteran has the fresh outlook, leadership skills necessary for the job.”
A U.S. Army infantry officer (Airborne, Ranger), graduate of The Citadel and the University of S.C. School of Law; Connor has been described by his military superiors as “a fearless, consummate combat leader” and an American soldier who, while serving in Afghanistan, “performed well under intense enemy fire and always led his men from the front.”
The Spartanburg Herald-Journal says Connor has “fresh and specific vision for the office [of Lt. Gov.]” and “unique leadership qualifications.”
The Republican primary is June 8.
