JOHNSTON – The Republican Women of Edgefield County, who hope to become an officially chartered organization after meeting again later this month, hosted four Congressional candidates last week from District 3 for a mini-forum at Pine Ridge Country Club.

Candidates on hand were State Senator Shane Massey, State Representative Rex Rice of Easley, Dr. Mike Vasovski of Aiken and Easley attorney Neal Collins.

Following an invocation by Charlotte Ann Seawright, the Pledge of Allegiance and reading of the Republican Creed by Kathy Cantrell and Ashley Burns, each candidate gave a brief introduction before being asked questions from the audience and some additional questions from hostess Mary Allison Pettigrew.
