Curtis Brantley announced Friday that he would be seeking a second term
in the SC House of Representatives. Brantley was joined atop the
steps of the Jasper County Courthouse by several community leaders,
including Pastor William Galloway, Theodus Drayton, Clifford Brantley
and Herman Brantley in announcing his intentions.Rep. Brantley said he was grateful to all the District 122 residents and promised to continue providing exemplary constituent service. Pastor Galloway expressed his support, saying, "I encourage all citizens to vote for Representative Brantley because of the outstanding job he has done in the first year as representative. He is working hard to secure the Jasper port to bring jobs to our county." Estill Mayor Thomas Owens echoed those sentiments through an endorsement statement, stating, "Rep. Brantley works hard for the people of District 122 and has earned the right to be re-elected to the House of Representatives." Retired military officer Theodus Drayton recalled, "I've known Representative Brantley all my life and I find him to be a man of integrity and an individual that has the interest of the citizens at heart. Being a man of integrity I know he will do well going back to Columbia to represent us. That is why I support him." Legislatively, Rep. Brantley noted that his top priorities would be continuing his work to ensure the Jasper Port comes to fruition, increasing economic opportunities for people in the region, fighting for educational equality and improving the quality of life for seniors. Rep. Leon Howard, Chair of the Black Caucus, was not in attendance but praised Brantley's work in the House, saying, "As a valued member of the Legislative Black Caucus and the Military, Medical and Public Affairs Committee, Rep. Brantley has served the people of Jasper and Hampton counties with distinction. A man of great integrity and wisdom, the voters of District 122 would be wise to re-elect Curtis Brantley." Clifford Brantley was particularly pleased with the results of Rep. Brantley's efforts, saying, ""I support Representative Brantley because of his long time public service to Jasper County. With a wide range of issues including education as well as working hard to secure the port in an effort to bring well paying jobs to both Jasper and Hampton counties. In a little over 13 months he has already secured well over 3 million dollars in grants for both Jasper and Hampton counties. I ask everyone to join me in voting for Rep. Brantley. Let us send him back to Columbia so he can continue the good job of representing the people of Jasper and Hampton counties." Always the optimist, Rep. Brantley concluded by proclaiming, "The wonderful people of District 122 deserve the best representation possible. I am honored to have been elected once and humbly ask for your support again. Working together, we can make our future brighter and better than ever. I promise to do everything in my power to make that happen." Rep. Brantley is a lifelong educator, teaching and serving as principal at various Jasper County schools throughout his career. Most recently, he was Superintendent of Jasper County School District from 1998-2000. He was first elected to the SC House of Representatives in 2006. Rep.
