CHESTERFIELD, SC - Ted Vick announced Friday his intent to run for South Carolina's newly formed seventh congressional seat in the United States Congress. Long rumored to be on the short list of viable candidates for the office, Vick confirmed those rumors today by releasing a short statement and announcing his plans to file his Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on Monday.
A current member of the Legislature, graduate of The Citadel, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the SC Army National Guard, Vick has made a lifelong personal commitment to military service and defense of this nation and its Constitution. A
As a trained minister of the Gospel, Vick has demonstrated a deep reverence for traditional southern family values. As a small businessman and independent capitalist, he understands the dynamics of the most powerful engine of prosperity the world has ever known: the American capitalist system. In addition to today's announcement, Ted Vick is also planning a campaign kickoff event for early 2012.
"Everything in the United States has become political. Everything is 'us' versus 'them.' Folks in Washington and in Columbia seem to be more concerned with scoring political points than doing the important work of governing. I believe that the people of South Carolina deserve better. I am committed to pushing common-sense solutions that get results for the people of the Seventh District. I believe that this results-oriented approach is the highest calling of a statesman."
Ted Vick lives in Chesterfield County, South Carolina with his wife Melissa and his twin eight-year-old daughters Willow and Laurel.
