Clyburn to speak to Oconee Democrats

A leading South Carolina Democrat will venture into Lindsey Graham country this month to help the local party raise money in advance of next year’s elections. Sixth District Congressman James Clyburn will keynote the annual Oconee Democratic Party picnic and fundraiser. “Mr. Clyburn is the third-ranking Democrat in the U-S House of Representatives and the highest ranking member of our national government from South Carolina,” said fundraising chairwoman Paulette Keffas Chassin.” He speaks for all Democrats throughout our state, and we are honored that he will join us here in Oconee County for this annual event.” The picnic will take place 5 to 8 p-m Sunday, June 14 at South Cove Park near Seneca. Tickets are $20 dollars for adults for $10 dollars for students.
