Under The Power Lines

Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell announced the launch of his new website www.glennmcconnell.com. Sen. McConnell’s website will feature the latest news from the legislature and regular entries in his blog about the issues facing South Carolina. “As technology continues to improve the way people communicate, I think it is important for public officials to embrace these new developments,” said Sen. McConnell. “I’ve always strived to keep my constituents more informed about our efforts in the legislature. I think this website will allow me to accomplish this goal.”

The website already features a series of YouTube videos about current legislation Sen. McConnell is fighting for in Senate. These videos include McConnell’s ideas for solving problems like energy independence, illegal immigration, and crime. The Senator plans on releasing other detailed policy ideas on his blog throughout the year. “People can visit my website to find out where I stand on key issues,” said Sen. McConnell. “Most importantly, it gives voters the opportunity to hear the reasons I support or oppose certain pieces of legislation.”

Sen. McConnell hopes people visiting the website will use it to share their thoughts and ideas about legislation with him. “I never forget the primary function of my position is to serve the people living in my district by listening to their concerns, and taking their ideas to Columbia. I want this website to be another place for people to share their own opinions about problems in the state as well as pending legislation with me.”
