Working Families

Welcome to the home of the independent voice for South Carolina’s working families!

The Working Families Party is fighting for a more just world.

One where the economy works for everyone. One where politicians are held accountable to working people, instead of big-money backers. One where all of us, no matter where we come from, can find a good job, get healthcare when we need it, afford a home, send our kids to good schools, and have a secure retirement.

*WFP originally endorsed Col. Robert Burton for US House District 1, who was running as both a Democrat and Working Families candidate. However, in accordance with State election law, when Col. Burton lost his Democratic Party primary to Ben Frazier he was stripped of his WFP ballot line.

Our State Leadership then met and decided to endorse Rob Groce because both the Democratic and Republican Party candidates have repeatedly expressed anti-worker, anti-working families rhetoric on the campaign trail.

While WFP almost always runs fusion candidates (cross-endorsing either a Democrat or a Republican), in this case we had to make an exception. Rob is a tremendous candidate who, out of all the First Congressional District candidates, will by far best represent working people.
