Gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, a Democrat from Kershaw County, will visit USC and engage in a Q-and-A session with students today at 7 p.m. in Russell House room 305.
The College Democrats will host Sheheen, who recently announced he will mount his second run for the Governor’s Mansion. Sheheen lost a tight race to Gov. Nikki Haley in 2010.
Sheheen has also recently released a book, “The Right Way: Getting the Palmetto State Back on Track,” which details his vision for South Carolina.
This is the second prominent politician the College Democrats have hosted in the past month. Two weeks ago, Democratic congressional candidate Elizabeth Colbert Busch, who is in a tight race against former Gov. Mark Sanford for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, stopped by a phone bank the group held for her campaign.
