Interesting article! Jimmy Jones has a long and proven record of fighting waste on Kershaw County Council. I believe he will continue to represent the interests of Kershaw County taxpayers as chairman, but on a grander scale.
Ben Connell impresses me as a wannabe career politician, who wants to go where he percieves the money to be, be it above the table or below the table. In recent days he has sent out texts to Kershaw County voters claiming to be some great “conservative”, yet he voted in favor of a hate crime bill, not long ago as a member of the SC House. Why does he want to go from being a House member down to Council Chairman? Some smells fishy with Connell, our lawyer-legislator.
I actually like Jeff Mattox’s message. If Jimmy Jones did not have such a stellar record of fighting against waste and for taxpayers, I would vote for him. As someone quoted in the article noted, I don’t think Mr Mattox can win this, but I hope we see and hear more from him in the future.
Mattox is a nut job. He attends council meetings and runs his mouth about nonsense that has nothing to do with anything on the agenda and he just promotes himself and wastes time. He will not come remotely close to winning anything.
Jimmy Jones is a good guy but Jimmy is against everything. He’s a one hit wonder. He always has a better idea supposedly, but rarely puts an idea forth to be considered by anyone else.
Ben is a good guy. He is willing to work with others much more than Jimmy. He will actively ask others their opinion and listen. He’s sort of a local legend from high school where he was a very successful athlete. I think he just wants to serve his home and doesn’t want to fool with the legislature anymore.
I’m glad Ben supported the hate crime enhanced penalty law. It will pass eventually but it was only common sense.
I live in Kershaw County and I’m not voting for any of them. I suspect Ben might win but I don’t care enough to vote.
Mattox is one odd guy. He is one of these folks always looking for an audience to listen to him talk about his political views. He shows up to council meetings and bores everyone to death with his political views- and talks about things that council isn’t even involved with most of the time.
He likes to hear himself talk and he’s as goofy as a 3 dollar bill.
His campaign is a joke. The guy can’t cooperate with anyone and you can’t get things done if you can’t cooperate with people.
It’s not a dictatorship. You have to work with others.

Vomiting + Diarrhea + Wretching = Mattox. Everything about him stinks.
