Issues Statement
In announcing his candidacy,
Rep. Ellis said:
Two years ago when l offered
my services to the people of
Horry County, they gave me an
Overwhelming vote of conf
dence, that. I can not forget
In view of this fact, I feel obi
gated to the people to offer my
services again. Therefore, I have
decided to be a candidate for
recollection to the House of Rep
resentatives in the June Primary
When first elected, made
the statement that it was nv de-
sire to be guided by the words
of Christ when he said, The
greatest are those who serv,
thee. and serve their fellowman.
This continues 10 be my desire
and | am of the opinion that i
Is far better to let your ligh'
shine before men that to make
it shine.
II firmly believe that a vas
majority of the people want mer
to represent them in the Cen
raj Assembly who are not afraic
to take a stand. Men who arc
more concerned about what j.
morally and spiritually right
than they are about getting
votes. Men who have such
deep religious convictions that
they will never be willing tc
compromise with evil. In other
words, men on whom you car
put your finger, and know where
they stand.
ITO believe otherwise would
be TO say that the people OF
Horny County do not want com
mon dcccncy, and would be sat
isficd with Representatives who
place politics ahead of service
Frankly, l do not think that we
will ever reach that point il
moral and spiritual decline.
For these reasons. I am con.
fident that the people will agar
see fit to elect me as a Member
of the House Of Representatives
Criticism comes to those whC
