Darlington Mayor endorses Phil Noble for governor
Mayor Gloria Hines of Darlington is endorsing Phil Noble for Governor in this year’s South Carolina Gubernatorial race.
Hines, who was the first female and first African American Mayor of Darlington, said that Noble is the right person at this important point in South Carolina’s history, to be its next governor.
“Phil Noble was born in Greenville, SC but was raised in Alabama – and he’s a Democrat. You have to be a special kind of person to have grown up in those times and have the heart that he does. I believe in what he’s trying to do with race relations and gender equality. Many people are afraid to address the subjects but they must be addressed. Phil exemplifies bold leadership in his willingness to do what’s right even when it’s hard or not fashionable. That’s why I’m endorsing Phil Noble. He is exactly what we need as our next Governor of South Carolina,” Hines stated.
Noble said he is honored to receive Mayor Gloria Hines’ endorsement.
“Mayor Hines exemplifies everything that my father fought for during the civil rights movement. Based on that upbringing, I’ve committed my life to fighting for equal rights and equal opportunity for everyone,” Noble said.
So far, Noble has been endorsed by Alabama Congressman Doug Jones, Anderson Mayor Terrence Roberts, former State Senator McKinley Washington, Jr. of Sumter, and the United Steel Worker’s Local 7898 Union President James Sanderson.
