10,000 REASONS TO BELIEVE SHANE WILL KEEP WORKING HARD FOR US.
When he ran for State Senate 2008, Shane Massey knocked on over 10,000 in the primary and general elections to get your vote for State Senate. Now he’s holding town halls across the district and using the newest technologies to take your voice to Columbia.
Improve the quality of public education.
“The future of our state hinges on our ability to educate our children. My primary focus next session will be fixing the public education-funding problem, making our schools safer for teachers to teach and students to learn, and ensuring that no child is stuck in a failing school. Politicians have been talking about these problems for far too long. It’s time for the politicians to act or get out of the way for those of us who are ready to do the hard work it takes to fix our education system.” – Shane
Make South Carolina energy efficient.
“Federal politicians can’t seem to get it right. They dropped the ball on illegal immigration, and we had to step up and tackle the problem here in South Carolina. Now they are refusing to address our energy crisis. I support the funding of future missions at the Savannah River Site and continued research and development to find alternative energy resources. I also support oil exploration hundreds of miles off South Carolina’s coast.” – Shane
Ensure all South Carolinians have access to quality, affordable healthcare.
“Nearly 700,000 South Carolinians live without health insurance while government continues to ignore the problem. I support innovative reforms to reduce the price of prescription drugs, especially for seniors living on a tight budget. These reforms should include market-based solutions aimed at reducing the rising cost of healthcare by providing more options for patients, ensuring affordable insurance premiums, and making coverage accessible to all hard-working South Carolinians. Most importantly, we need to make sure that medical decisions are ALWAYS made by doctors and patients rather than insurance companies.” – Shane
Demand stronger ethics legislation for elected officials.
“Transparency and accountability are the foundation of our democracy. Unfortunately too many politicians at both the federal and state levels of government have represented special interests and the good ole’ boy political system instead of their constituents. I’m sick of seeing stories of politicians going to jail and resigning from office. It’s past time to strengthen South Carolina’s ethics laws. I will introduce legislation demanding more transparency in contributions to politicians.” - Shane
Make South Carolina the best place to do business with tax cuts and spending restraints.
“The first step in improving South Carolina’s economy is fixing public education. We must provide employers with an educated workforce to compete with workers in China and India. We must create an economic environment conducive to job growth by cutting income taxes and relieving this great burden on both employers and employees. But the only way to cut taxes responsibly is to quit wasting taxpayers’ dollars. I will continue to push for immediate earmark reform, and I will file legislation to make 100% of spending bills require a roll call vote. When voters know who is wasting their money, the politicians will begin to clean up their act.” – Shane
Shane doesn’t just make empty promises. He works hard to get things done.
