Sen. McCain campaigned in Greenville and Spartanburg, SC, on Wednesday and I caught up with him at a few stops with some ONE members.
After a town hall meeting, ONE member Bianca was able to talk with Sen. McCain. As soon as she approached him he instantly recognized her shirt and told her how much he loves ONE. Bianca was able to thank him for his efforts to reform the Farm Bill to allow poor African farmers a chance to bring their goods to market. Sen. McCain thanked her and Cindy McCain told Bianca that she was trying to point her out to the senator during the town hall.
Sen. McCain had a few more stops in South Carolina and I hear that he ran into another group of ONE members later on in the night. Just one more event, town hall, and candidate engagement, that is making ONE a real force here in the Palmetto State.
