We've brought you candidates for County Council and School Board, and in the coming weeks, you'll meet the candidates for Greenville County Probate Judge and State Superintendent of Education. We hope you are hearing from candidates you'd like to support. Of course, your vote is the most important way to do that. But there are many more ways to get involved and multiply your impact.
On today’s episode, we’ll talk about how to do that. Our producer Nathaniel DeSantis, who is a newer voter, interviews Derek Lewis, who has run two successful races for Greenville County school board and is now concluding his term. They have great tips for how to get involved and show your support, some simple and free and others requiring a bigger investment of time, but time that typically pays dividends for the candidate.
