MANNING, S.C. — In his first campaign appearance, surprising U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene avoided major gaffes Sunday on his themes of jobs, education and justice.
“Let’s get South Carolina and America back to work, and let’s move South Carolina forward,” Greene said in his 6 1/2-minute speech.
Greene rattled off national job-loss statistics, and he said the state needs to put more people to work adding lanes to hurricane-evacuation routes. He mentioned the state’s dismal rankings in standardized tests. And he urged letting first-time offenders do community service and pay a fine to have their records wiped clean.
