Rep. Peter McCoy Garners Two Key Endorsements in SC1 Race

With the race for the First Congressional District heating up, Rep. Peter McCoy has garnered endorsements from a pair of Charleston County mayors.

Mayor Bill Woolsey of James Island and Mayor Tim Goodwin of Folly Beach both formally supported the McCoy for Congress campaign.  

“Peter McCoy has worked tirelessly on behalf of our town and her people. Peter fought to ensure the people on James Island made the final decision on the future of the Town," said Woolsey in a statement. "Peter is a champion of freedom, and I look forward to helping him win this election for our next generation.”  

“Peter McCoy is a dedicated public servant working hard to preserve the American Dream for our children. On his own dime, Peter flew to Washington last year and petitioned South Carolina's Congressional delegation for desperately needed beach renourishment investments," said Goodwin. "Peter is a citizen representative, and I am proud to support his candidacy for Congress."

“I am honored to be endorsed by Mayors Woolsey and Goodwin, and I look forward to continue representing South Carolina’s coastal communities,” said McCoy. “I have worked hard to return our government to the people and will continue to do all I can to put America back on a path to prosperity.”
