COLUMBIA S.C., April 4, 2003 – Greenville
Democrat Joe Erwin’s campaign to become South Carolina
Democratic Party Chairman landed a big endorsement in Columbia
this afternoon. At a press conference at Democratic Party headquarters,
Congressman James Clyburn endorsed Erwin to be the next Chairman
of the South Carolina Democratic Party. Congressman Clyburn
said “I have known Joe Erwin for 25 years and consider
him to be energetic and visionary. He will bring pride and competence
to South Carolina Democrats and to South Carolinians.”
“Congressman Jim Clyburn, known for his relentless dedication
to making government work for the people, represents the best
of what we are as Democrats. His endorsement of my candidacy
is truly an honor,” Erwin stated. “It humbles me
and inspires me to do the best I can for South Carolina Democrats,
and indeed, all citizens of South Carolina.”
Erwin, 46, is president and CEO of Erwin-Penland, Inc., South
Carolina’s largest advertising and marketing firm. Erwin
has been traveling extensively across the state meeting with
Democratic Party leaders, volunteers and voters, and the endorsement
by Congressman Clyburn is likely only to add to this campaign’s
momentum. The chairmanship will be decided on May 3 in Columbia
by delegates to the party's annual state convention.
