“If you want something done right, do it yourself.”
Our goal, here at Another Voice with Eric and Friends, is to incite people to make a difference in their community and we’re always excited to showcase folks who are making a difference. Over the years, we’ve been pleased to showcase folks making a difference like: Paton Blough with Rehinge, who’s instrumental in getting the Legislature to act regarding mental health courts and Crisis Intervention Training and Traci Fant of Freedom Fighters who’s involved in community activism in several areas from working to reduce violence to helping low income girls get prom dresses.
On this episode, we get to showcase another of our fellow citizens who has decided to make a difference through the electoral process. Anthony “Tony” Gilliard is running for SC House District 18.
An average Joe, a small business owner, Tony believes that we need change in Columbia and since he couldn’t find anyone to run for the SC House District 18 seat, he’s taking up the challenge himself.

The primaries are on June 12th and there are a whole host of candidates running. In the 4th Congressional District race alone, there are 13 Republicans vying for their party’s nomination and 5 Democrats seeking their party’s nod.
