About Representative Jerry Govan
Dear Constituents of SC House District 93:
These are undoubtedly challenging times. Unfortunately, due to redistricting, our district has experienced a loss of vital resources and funding. This has highlighted the disparities we face in various aspects of our community. It is essential that we address these issues with urgency and determination.
I firmly believe that, with my experience, background, and proven track record, I can help restore what we have lost and pave the way for a brighter future. However, achieving this requires a collective effort from all of us. We must come together and rebuild trust, forge new partnerships, and work tirelessly to overcome the obstacles we face.
I envision a district that is prosperous, inclusive, and thriving. But I cannot do it alone. I need your support and active participation to make this vision a reality. Together, we can create meaningful change and shape the future we desire for ourselves and our families.
Will you join me on this journey?
