The Candidates for SC's 1st District

How to reach the candidates and learn their positions.

Voters in the First Congressional District have seven short weeks to learn about the 19 candidates (16 Republicans and 3 Democrats) who wish to represent them in Congress. Most of the candidates have Facebook and Twitter pages as well as their own web page. They've also received coverage on Patch. All these resources provide plenty of opportunity to inform voters.
