4th District Congressional Debate Get’s Contentious

On Monday, June 18th, 94-5 WGTK The Answer along with First Monday Greenville, the Greenville County GOP and the South Carolina GOP hosted what appears to be the only debate between the two final candidates in the GOP run-off primary to be held June 26th.  Senator William Timmons and former Senator Lee Bright were both present to discuss the issues. The race has attracted some national attention as the final week has grown a little more contentious according to Politico.  Monday’s debate did get a bit more exciting as the two candidates “Clashed Over Personal Finances”.  According the GreenvilleOnline this is the only debate both candidates will be participating in prior to voting.

A special thanks to WYFF and SCETV for being there to video stream.  In case you missed the event you can see it below.
