Representative Todd Rutherford

This week in the State House: the State of the State, the Democratic Response, and the Bathroom Bill.

Representative Jermaine Johnson gave the Democratic response to the State of the State and showed the people of South Carolina a vision of where we ought to go.

Meanwhile, Republicans think we ought to go to the toilet — because that’s what we’ve been talking about all week. I’m against the bill because I believe we should respect people who have gone through gender transition, but Republicans want to send men into the women’s restroom. That bill now goes to the Senate.

Today is Election Day! If you live in the City of Columbia, please vote for Sam Johnson in the runoff.
