Common Sense Leadership for the Lowcountry
Lee Edwards has spent a lifetime serving the community he proudly calls home. A Charleston native, small business owner, and conservative leader, Lee is running for the South Carolina State House because he believes the people of West Ashley, James Island, and Johns Island deserve a representative who will put citizens ahead of politics and results ahead of excuses.
For decades, Lee has served in leadership positions focused on improving lives, protecting taxpayers, and strengthening the community. As Chairman of the Budget Committee for the St. Andrews Public Service District, Lee helped cut property taxes by 26% while maintaining essential services. He has also served on local and state boards, including the South Carolina Educational Lottery Commission.
Today, Lee is ready to take that same practical, conservative approach to Columbia.

Cut Taxes
