FLORENCE – Florence Mayor Stephen J. Wukela endorsed Sen. Vincent Sheheen’s candidacy for Governor at a campaign event in Florence on Tuesday.
“After eight years of Mark Sanford we need someone who can bring jobs to the people and dignity back to the Governor’s Office,” Wukela said. “Time and again, Sen. Sheheen has proven his willingness to fight for average South Carolinians and that’s the spirit we need leading this state.”
Wukela made his endorsement at an oyster roast he organized to introduce Sen. Sheheen, D-Camden, to Florence County voters.
“Municipal leaders like Mayor Wukela are in the trenches everyday making up for the lack of leadership in Columbia so his constituents don’t have to suffer,” Sheheen said responding to the endorsement. “I am proud to have his support and, with his help, we’ll get this state back on track.”
Sheheen, 37, is from rural Kershaw County and is described as a quiet, cerebral, reserved and politically conservative, according to The State article on his Sheheen for Governor Web site, http://vincentsheheen.com/news. Sheheen is married and has three sons.
