FreedomWorks Celebrates Mark Sanford’s Victory in the South Carolina District 1 Special Election | FreedomWorks

FreedomWorks congratulates Mark Sanford on his Congressional special election victory in South Carolina’s 1st District. FreedomWorks PAC endorsed Mark Sanford one week prior to the special election, when Sanford stood 9 points behind his opponent in the polls.

FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented, “Mark Sanford’s victory tonight is further evidence that the political power balance in Washington has shifted. A strong fiscally conservative candidate, backed by a tenacious community of issue-driven grassroots activists, can prevail without the traditional power brokers of the Beltway.”

FreedomWorks activists across the District acted quickly, organizing a last-chance “Get out the Vote” effort in the final week before the special election to educate voters on Sanford’s consistent record of fiscally responsible economic policy.

On the windy and rainy Saturday leading into Election Week, grassroots activists knocked on over 1,000 doors including the Mt. Pleasant area, one of the highest concentrations of likely Republican voters in the District. FreedomWorks produced and distributed 20,000 door hangers and 1,000 yard signs total in support of Mark Sanford in the weeks leading up to the special election.
