Sottile: “I’m running to bring more Boeings to the Charleston area”
Isle of Palms – March 1, 2010 – In just over one year as our State Representative, Mike Sottile has backed plans to stop extreme spending, reform our government restructure, give more choices in education, and to bring tens of thousands of jobs to the Charleston area. Promising to continue his fight for economic growth and job creation, Sottile today announced his plan to run for reelection to the State House.
“We need leaders who are more concerned with growing our economy and creating jobs than their own political careers. I’m running for reelection so that I can continue my work to bring much needed jobs to our region. I’m running to bring more Boeings to the Charleston area,” Mike said.
Sottile is completing his first term after winning election in 2008, promising to change business as usual in Columbia and to serve as a true voice for the Charleston area. In just over one year, Mike Sottile has already made good on many of his promises:
Mike Sottile backed a plan to constitutionally cap the amount of state spending, stopping politicians from wasting our hard-earned tax dollars.
Mike Sottile has supported numerous state restructuring bills, including bills to reform the Employment Security Commission, the state ports, and many of our constitutional offices. Mike believes that we cannot truly succeed, lower taxes, and create jobs until we change South Carolina’s outdated government structure.
Mike Sottile is a sponsor of a plan to give parents more choices when it comes to educating their children.
Mike Sottile strongly backed a package to bring Boeing to the Charleston area, which will create tens-of-thousands of jobs over the next few years.
“We do have a problem in state government,” Mike said. “We have too many politicians who have lost touch with the taxpayers and they concentrate on Columbia special interests instead of cutting taxes, reining in spending, and creating jobs. I’m working to change the way things are done in Columbia and I intended to deliver on every promise I’ve made.”
