Beto O’Rourke To Make Third Visit To South Carolina This Weekend **Updated
Beto Has Held 15 Events In South Carolina Since Launching His Campaign In March
COLUMBIA, SC - Ahead of the June 15th Black Economic Alliance Presidential Candidate Forum in Charleston, Beto O’Rourke will make his third trip to South Carolina since announcing his candidacy for president in March. During his three-day visit, Beto will host a roundtable with citizens of the Gullah Geechee Nation, a criminal justice roundtable in North Charleston, town halls in Sumter and Greenville, and attend church in Spartanburg.
Beto has made South Carolina a top priority in his bid for the White House.
In May, Beto For America announced one of the largest South Carolina-based staffs of any 2020 presidential campaign - led by Lauren Harper, former advisor to Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin, and Tyler Jones, chief strategist for Joe Cunningham’s 2018 upset victory in South Carolina’s First Congressional District.
Beto has already held 15 events in Rock Hill, Columbia, Orangeburg, Charleston, Clemson, Denmark, Beaufort and other communities across the state, including the campuses of the University of South Carolina, Voorhees College, South Carolina State University, and Clemson University.
