SENATOR SHANE MASSEY FILES FOR RE-ELECTION

PROMISES TO REMAIN COMMITTED TO CONSTITUENT SERVICES AND GOVERNMENT REFORM

(EDGEFIELD, SC) Senator Shane Massey today filed for re-election to the State Senate, promising to continue his hard work for constituent services and government reform. Despite being the youngest and newest member of the Senate, Shane is already shaking things up and getting results for South Carolina and District 25 through his hard work on spending and DUI reform.

Shane has become known as one of South Carolina¹s hardest working legislators because of his constant commitment to constituent services. His cell phone has become the constituent service hotline for Senate District 25 constituent who run into state problems. He has kept constituents up-to-date on all the latest happenings at the Statehouse through his innovative website and frequent video and email updates. In just the past few months, Shane has held over 18 “neighborhood chats” across the district to find out the concerns of our area¹s families.

Shane tells constituents “I can¹t do my job and help shake up Columbia if you aren¹t telling me what¹s on your mind. I¹m holding neighborhood chats across the district so that you can tell me about the issues you care about.”

Shane has also stood strong on the conservative values we all share. He knows that our state will move forward when we implement strong commonsense ideas. The first piece of legislation he filed will create spending transparency in the State Senate. Currently legislators can insert pork barrel spending projects into the state budget with anonymity. These hidden spending projects explode our budget and put an undue tax burden on South Carolina¹s working families. Massey¹s legislation will require legislators to put their names on the earmarks they request. Those requests will be made public so that taxpayers know exactly who is responsible for them.

“Spending is out of control in South Carolina, and a large amount of it is happening in secret. Taxpayers have the right to know how we are spending their money. When I campaigned for State Senate I promised to work as hard as possible to shake things up in Columbia. I¹m proud to do that with my first bill, and I hope my fellow Senators will join me in demanding fiscal responsibility and protecting South Carolina¹s taxpayers.”
