The S.C Chamber PAC has inaugurated a new S.C. Election Center website platform and announced support for 17 candidates in the upcoming primaries.

According to a news release, the chamber political action committee places its support behind candidates with a track record of working with the business community to help make South Carolina competitive on the national stage for commerce and quality of life. Candidates with a score of 80% or above using the S.C. Chamber Legislative Scorecard have been considered.

“The business community is proud to announce support for these candidates,” Ted Pitts, president and CEO of the chamber, said in the release. “They are committed to creating a more competitive tax code, developing a workforce for the future, and getting our small businesses back to work. As the state begins ramping back up and reopening the economy, it’s more important than ever to have the right folks in Columbia working to put our state back to work.”
