What’s your name? Heather Wood

Where are you from? Spartanburg, SC

What office are you running for? SC Statehouse District 37

What political party do you belong to? Republican

What’s your occupation? Account Manager for a marketing firm.

Are you a government employee or does your company receive contracts, incentives or other monetary subsidization from any government entity? (If yes, feel free to provide details). No.

Why are you running for this office? This community has been a big part of my family for three generations, so I am truly invested and committed to the people of Boiling Springs and Inman, and I believe they deserve one of their own to represent them.

What do you see as the most important issue facing your community/ city/ state/ country? (Please answer for each category irrespective of the office you are seeking). Focusing on community, city and state; infrastructure is a very serious problem for each of these categories. I realize we borrowed approximately a half a billion dollars as a part of last year’s budget to fix our roads, and we could have a conversation about how we had the money and didn’t need to borrow, but regardless- our roads and bridges are not being repaired in a timely manner. How are we supposed to be economically viable and attract businesses (jobs) with our roads and bridges in such disrepair?

As far as our country goes, the only true way to have an impact in turning this country around if for each state to have true conservatives representing the people, those with backbone to stand up to the federal government.

What would you do if elected to address those issues? I will work with those who are like-minded to accomplish our goals. I will not compromise my principles for the other side, and will fight to uphold the values our state and country were founded upon.

Why should people vote for you? I will bring honesty and integrity back to this seat. I have worked on numerous campaigns and already have a political network, and I believe this will help to give me the leverage to accomplish more for our community than my opponent.

If you are running in a contested election, why should people not vote for your opponent(s)? In my opponent’s first session, she voted to put my generation approximately a billion dollars in debt between the money which was borrowed for Boeing and the roads. She is not from this community, and hasn’t lived here in months, and only just moved back to run for the seat again. In general, she has been largely absent from her district.

I’ll disagree with that. Mr. Folks, as far as I can tell, does not censor anyone on this site and there are times I wish he would (he takes some pretty tough shots to the ribs). But, like in government, once you start down that slippery slope its hard to maintain a firm footing. I am appreciative of being able to speak my mind here.

Hear, Hear, EJB!!!! He does take some pretty harsh criticism and does not censor. That is very admirable, IMHO. This is really the last place in Columbia where you can make an anonymous post, share insider info, and the like. WLTX, WIS, The State, and the like have taken that away, courtesy of Fecebook.

I don’t know how he keeps the little kids from screwing it all up. Every forum I’ve started attracts people who want to destroy it, using the threat of screaming “censorship!” to destroy the medium..
The people here aren’t bit brains like on Breitbart.. but I don’t understand why.

Out of one side of her mouth, she talks about being angry with the lousy roads and infrastructure. The other side states that she is a true conservative i.e. not raising taxes. I have just one small question.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE DAMN MONEY????

Smirks April 2, 2014 at 1:36 pm

lol…

I would hope she would answer “By making SCDoT do it’s damn job instead of some of the bullshit they’re doing now.” Even then, though, what if that turned out to not be enough? Would she raise taxes then? It’s like she isn’t even considering that as a possibility. Quite naive if you ask me.

Reading this doesn’t make me honestly believe she knows what she wants to accomplish in office. “I’ll work with like-minded people, won’t compromise my principles” is generic rhetoric that translates into “I have no idea what I’m doing, I’ll just follow some ass clown who sounds like he does but, in reality, gets a big fat check from out-of-state interests and is beholden to anyone but the actual taxpayers.” Zero substance, man.

The powers that be hate idea men/women, they hate leaders, they hate solutions and they hate compromise. What they love are followers. And I’m sure they’ll love this person.

Koala Man, your breeding time is about to run out. Ya’ better make your move…..

Koalas are seasonal breeders, and births take place from October to May. Females in oestrus tend to hold their head further back than usual and commonly display tremors and spasms. However, males do not appear to recognise these signs, and have been observed to mount non-oestrous females.

Because of his much larger size, a male can usually force himself on a female, mounting her from behind, and in extreme cases the male may pull the female out of the tree. A female may scream and vigorously fight off her suitors, but will submit to one who is dominant, or who is more familiar.

The bellows and screams that accompany matings can attract other males to the scene, obliging the incumbent to delay mating and fight the intruders off. These fights may allow the female to assess who is dominant. Older males usually have accumulated scratches, scars and cuts on the exposed parts of their noses and on their eyelids. (Wiki.)

“Is she going to take that stupid stud out of her nose if elected?”

I dunno. It doesn’t look as bad as a permanently disfiguring tattoo would. It is smaller, less obtrusive visually, and best of all, not permanent. I don’t have a problem with those little studs on women. I used to frequent a coffee shop and one of my favorite baristas had one. She was quite an attractive lady but still, I always wondered how she dealt with allergies and colds. It always seemed like the clasp or whatever on the inside that holds it in would be a gathering point for boogers, snot, and such. I’m guessing a woman who chooses to wear one would necessarily have some of the fittest sinuses to be found in the world. This would be great for her kids and grandkids if the trait were passed on.

If I had to guess I’d say it’s magnetic and not an actual hole in her nose. Most of the really small ones like that are magnetic.

Thanks for clarifying that, EDF! I always wondered how they kept those little clasps from getting encrusted. Geeze, they still have to have extraordinary sinuses. If they had my sinuses, in this weather, they would have to replace the magnet and the stud every few minutes from sneezing attacks.

Not being open to raising taxes to fix the roads is something I find quite admirable. If my driveway needed paving, I couldn’t go out and tax the ants in my yard additionally for funds to pave my driveway. I would have to figure out just exactly what I needed to do without or how to legitimately raise the funds to accomplish this.

Similarly, I am sick to death of these politicians whose knee-jerk reaction to a need, real or perceived, is to raise taxes. It is even scarier that so many of you who vote see this as an acceptable way to do the public’s business. There is so much pork in the State (or ANY government’s) budget that places to cut back and make funding can be found. I admire Heather’s attitude with regard to not being inclined to raise taxes to fix the roads and wish her well in her bid for office. My only regret is that she is not in my district, where I could vote for her.

If the Democrats didn’t have the Republicans scant efforts to hold back spending imagine where we would be. There will never be enough money for the Democrats. They will spend every penny you give them and accuse you of being stingy if you deny them the next penny they demand. God himself couldn’t create enough money for Democrats. Yes, I have particular disdain for Democrats but recognize that a good many Republicans behave in much the same manner, still even those posers spend less than the out-in-the-open Democrats.

Every word you said is true, EJB! We have views which are very similar except I will berate the liberal, tax-and-spend, Republicans more quickly and harder than the Democrats because to me, that is expected Democrat behavior. The Republicans should know better. It’s like the analogy I often use that I have infinitely more respect for the drug dealer or manufacturer than I would a crooked cop who was taking bribes from the dealer or manufacturer. The drug dealer or manufacturer is just doing what he does to make a living, but the cop taking bribes from him is going against everything he stands for.

This is a big part of why I would be happy as a clam to see scumbags like John McCain and Lindsey Graham beaten by anyone, even a Democrat. They fly in the face of what they are supposed to be doing for the taxpayers and citizens of this country. I don’t worry about Democrats gaining seats if they win over either one because those seats are already controlled by the Democrats as these two will bend over and grab their ankles anytime the Dems ask them to.

We need her and other millennial hipsters, nose rings and tattoos be damned, to ever hope to attract conservative voters younger than 50. The average lo-info voter’s lack of sophistication reduces it all to liberals=cool, and conservatives=meanies. Unless something changes at the RNC, we will continue to lose elections. And if we tout individualism and liberty, then demand every candidate be a silver-haired checked-pants Republican, then we look like bigger idiots than our opposition.
