Former SC Governor Mark
Sanford visited Sun City Monday to campaign for Congress. He's the fourth of 19 candidates to visit the
retirement community so far.
Sanford's college friend
and former Chief of Staff Senator Tom Davis endorsed Sanford for Congress and
told the crowd Sanford is one of the only candidates who "doesn't think
Charleston is the center of the universe."
Davis referred to the Jasper Port when saying Sanford would fight for
Beaufort County issues.
Sanford said he's running
to bring "common sense" back to Washington.
He gave examples of the "common sense" practices he brought as governor
such as not accepting federal stimulus money, bringing down wait times at the
DMV and starting programs at prisons that saved money and taught inmates
life-skills at the same time.
Sanford started his
address to the group by acknowledging what he calls "failures" and "mistakes" in abandoning the state while governor to visit
his mistress in Argentina. He asked for
a second chance and one neighbor said he deserves it.
"There are a lot of
people who make mistakes," Arthur Boska said. "He admitted he made a mistake and he said he
was sorry for it. So, he has an opportunity to get a second chance. I believe
we must stick with the issues and be honest with the American people," he said.
Representative Andy Patrick of Hilton Head
will visit Sun City Thursday at 3:30.
The Sun City events are only open to residents.
