Laura Beth Kirsop, spokeswoman for South Carolina’s Conservative Future, said, “There has never been a more important time to expand school choice, support conservative values, and protect parents’ rights.” 

Kirsop continued, “Unfortunately, Kathy Maness has done the exact opposite. She opposed school choice and supported universal mask mandates. She even endorsed a Democrat for mayor of Columbia and championed Biden’s $1 trillion spending bill. She is not a conservative, and quite frankly, should probably be running in the Democratic primary.”
