District 2 is very fortunate to be represented in the South Carolina Senate by Larry Martin. In the past, we were frequent visitors to South Carolina. Our trips were for pleasure and business and afforded us the opportunity to meet and work with a number of elected state officials.

Rather than continuing to be visitors, we decided to make the Palmetto State our home.

With the 2016 primary election fast approaching we felt that it was important to convey our thoughts and past experience in working with your outstanding Senator, Larry Martin.

The people lucky enough to live in Senator Martin’s district have a very competent, highly regarded, and respected, advocate representing them in the State House. Senator Martin is the Chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee which without any doubt, helps get District 2 related issues promptly to the table in Columbia.

We have always found Senator Martin to be “down to earth,” easy to talk with, knowledgeable, and totally committed to his constituents’ values and needs.

In addition, we were impressed with your senator’s many awards highlighting his effectiveness in getting the job done for the state and most importantly, his constituents.

Senator Martin’s staff in Columbia are the best when it comes to constituent service. In addition, we continue to be impressed by the fact that Senator Martin personally answers most of his e-mails.

We certainly hope the voters in District 2 agree with us and re-elect their outstanding Senator so he can continue effectively representing them for “four more years.”
