Dear Friend,
Two weeks ago, I announced my candidacy for Governor of South Carolina. In that short time, I have received a tremendous outpouring of support from people all across our state. South Carolinians are tired of being the punch line of national jokes, and they are looking for a Governor to bring back integrity, accountability and leadership to our state.
I plan to be the Turnaround Governor that South Carolina needs, and I pledge to work every day to create a government committed to accountability and to living within its means; a state committed to improving schools; and leadership that reflects South Carolina values – not the values of narrow special interest groups.
I need your help to get there. I hope you will support our campaign by helping me meet my fundraising goal. Wednesday marks the end of a crucial fundraising period, and any amount you can give – $25, $50, $500, or even $3500 – will help us as we work to bring a new direction to our state.
Over the past few years, I have built a great network of enthusiastic and supportive people, but we need to build an even bigger and stronger campaign. We must drown out the partisan rhetoric that will dominate this race and replace it with our positive message of bringing about a better South Carolina. I hope I can count on you to help create the change our state desperately needs.
In the coming weeks, I look forward to traveling across our great state, meeting hard-working South Carolinians, and sharing my vision for turning this state around. I look forward to your input, as well as your support.
Sincerely,

Jim Rex
