Duncan to Seek Reelection to Congress

Laurens Republican Jeff Duncan announced today that he will seek reelection to the United States House of Representatives from South Carolina’s Third Congressional District.

Duncan, along with fellow South Carolina freshmen Representatives Trey Gowdy, Tim Scott, and Mick Mulvaney, gained significant national attention this past year for frequent independence from House Republican Leadership.

“I’ve tried to do exactly what I said I would do on the campaign trail,” Duncan said. “That’s cut spending, reduce the size of government, defend the Constitution, and fight on behalf of the people of South Carolina.”

“Although I’ve only been in office for little over a year, I’ve worked hard to help lead the fight against the destructive policies coming out of Washington. According to the political arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation, I have the most conservative voting record of any member in the US House of Representatives. This conservative record means I’ve been willing to vote against leadership in my own party to do what I feel is right,” he added.

Congressman Duncan is married to his high school sweetheart Melody, and they have three boys.
