The Aiken Standard dates its founding to 1867 with Ellen Priest as Publisher and Editor, Michael Smith as Executive Editor, and Holly Ellington as News Editor. The Thought of the Day quotes Kurt Vonnegut on authenticity and perception.
Senator Shane Massey of Aiken has been elected Senate Majority Leader by the South Carolina Senate Republicans, succeeding amid resignation of Harvey Peeler. The 40 year old, first elected in 2007, vows to lead on conservative issues with a focus on roads and bridges and maintaining energy for reform.
The Aiken Standard invites signed letters with the writer’s address and daytime phone for verification. Letters must be under 500 words and may be edited for length and taste. Anonymous or group-campaign letters will not be published, and submissions are discretionary.
After the 2012 election Republicans faced soul searching and mistakes. Reince Priebus urged outreach to minorities while the party faces Trump’s provocative style and splits over strategy. Star Parker of CURE calls for a conservative, inclusive vision to win nontraditional voters.
A letter argues that fossil fuels harm the environment more than nuclear power, urging a shift to nuclear as a stopgap while renewables expand. It cites constitutional history and Civil War era events, then pivots to gender pay gap awareness led by AAUW in Aiken with an event at USCA and Pay Day candy bars.
