The S.C. Progressive Legislative Caucus, formed over the summer by S.C. Rep. Gilda Cobb Hunter, D-Orangeburg, and six House colleagues, got notification Friday that it is a nonprofit in good standing with the Secretary of State’s office.
The caucus will focus on often-neglected issues that are important to working families: equitable and fair funding for public education, raising the minimum wage and passage of an Earned Income Tax Credit in South Carolina to benefit the working poor.
Cobb Hunter said fellow caucus members included six other House Democrats: Leon Howard of Columbia, David Mack of North Charleston, Walt McLeod of Little Mountain, Harold Mitchell Jr. of Spartanburg, Joe Neal of Hopkins and Seth Whipper of North Charleston.
