Valarie Boston formally announces candidacy for Ward 2
I am a native of Darlington, S.C. and a 2002 graduate of Mayo High School for Math, Science and Technology, and a 2007 graduate of Francis Marion University with a Bachelor of Science degree in History, and a minor in International Studies. I am also a graduate student obtaining a Master’s Degree in History. I am currently employed at Prime Rate Premium, Inc., a subsidiary of Branch Banking & Trust.
I am the daughte of Rev. Ernest L. Boston, Sr. and Shala F. Boston. I have a son, Christopher, who attends Brockington Magnet Elementary School. I am a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Samuel Fulmore. My activities in the church include the children’s ministry.
My interest in this candidacy is to get more young people involved in our community. There is no representation of the young adult in the political process of our city. I am ready to take this challenge and represent the constituents of District 2. I will represent them with honesty and integrity, and will have the vision to move our city forward. My biggest goal is to have the City of Darlington be a safe place for our children to learn, grow, and for our young people to be involved in the new vision for Darlington.
I have volunteered and worked in the 2014 Sheheen S.C. Gubernatorial campaign, and in the 2014 campaign for S.C. Rep. Robert Williams.
I am asking all of my classmates of Mayo High School and Francis Marion University, friends, family, and residents to become the City Councilman of District 2.
Thank you for your support.
Valarie Boston
