Candidates Address Voter Concerns Ahead of Elections

As early voting begins in South Carolina for the Nov. 5 general election, incumbent Republican William Timmons and Democratic challenger Kathryn Harvey are competing for the 4th Congressional District seat, focusing on their diverse professional backgrounds. Timmons emphasizes his experience in the criminal justice system and military service, while Harvey highlights her nonprofit leadership and entrepreneurial efforts in Spartanburg. In Missouri, incumbent Chris Brown faces off against Gloria Young for the State House District 16 seat, with key issues including cost of living and school funding. Meanwhile, in Florida's Senate District 3, incumbent Corey Simon and challenger Daryl Parks prepare for a debate that is crucial for the GOP’s supermajority, amid significant spending on campaign ads. The race has garnered attention due to its historical context and the candidates' limited public engagements. As election day approaches, voters are urged to consider the candidates' positions on pressing local issues.
