Sunday letters: Jenny Horne makes me proud of South Carolina

I am compelled to say how very proud I am, this day, to be a South Carolinian. I am proud to have a person of such heart, compassion and plain guts as Jenny Horne as a member of our representative body.

There haven’t been many times in recent memory when I could say such a thing.

She is the embodiment of the people I know in this great state: kind, caring, welcoming and big-hearted.

She is the one I hope people around this country think of, not a seriously ill young man, when they talk of my state.
