Pickens County Political Debate Series - School Board

This is the second of a debate series being presented in Pickens County.  The Sheriff debate was the first, and the candidates for State Senate District 2 (Sen. Larry Martin vs. Rex Rice) is scheduled in October


The purpose of this debate is twofold.



1. We at PCVotes desire to bring the voting public closer to the process of selecting school board members and all elected officials. when the voters are fully informed, they make better, more intelligent decisions at the voting booth.
2. When the candidates have the opportunity to inform the public their stance on all the issues, they are able to make sure everyone understands how they will represent them in office.

The three candidates running for the Easley School board seat are:

Mrs. Judy Edwards (incumbent)
Dr. Valerie Ramsey
Mr. David Whittemore
