Free Republic

Unlike the current “Republican� politician representing South Carolina’s First Congressional District, GOP candidate Katherine Jenerette has never sold her soul to the special interests. As a result, she’s not swimming in their big dollar campaign contributions - which means she has to try new, cost-effective approaches to getting her name and her message out to voters.Take her latest video, for example, which leads off an interesting article on the future of campaigns published by the Southern Political Report … Meet Katherine Jenerette, a former aide to US Rep. Henry Brown (R-S.C.) who hopes to unseat him in next year’s Republican...

If the S.C. Republican establishment (including Senate President Glenn McConnell and Lt. Gov. André Bauer) had gotten behind her campaign four years ago, Katherine Jenerette would be a Republican State Senator right now. Not only that … Jay-Z’s hit “99 Problems” wouldn’t be the official theme song of South Carolina’s so-called “deliberative” body. Anyway, McConnell and Bauer (like the rest of the “Republican” Caucus) chose not to back Jenerette’s campaign, deciding instead to support behind the campaign of their big government buddy Sen. Dick Elliott, a Democrat and one of the most corrupt politicians in state history. It’s just another...

Henry Brown, has announced his intentions to seek the newly redrawn U.S. Congressional seat if the new lines do not include Congressman Brown's home turf of Hanahan in the new district. "The courts and the redistricting lawsuit have left Horry County in a real congressional limbo," said Jenerette after a meeting with advisors and supporters late Friday. "We are one of the fastest growing areas of the entire country and we need our own voice in Washington."...

Will The Real Islam Please Stand Up? Will The Real Islam Please Stand Up? Stop telling me about Islam. Shouldn't the media and talk shows hosts really be instructing 'wayward' Muslims and their followers who have 'hijacked' Islam about the true meaning of the Koran and Islam. I really don't care about their religion. Tell them about their religion! Just tell the Muslims who have their Koran and the Prophets' message all wrong that they have it backwards and inside out. They seem to be the ones who need to understand the 'true' meaning of the Koran and Islam.by ...

I wish that this was a easy subject to discuss, but it's not. The way I view this there are really three issues here that need to be separated to make any sense at all: #1) How to deal with people who we love who need our love and who are dying - this does not necessarily mean HIV only. #2) How to deal with a deadly disease that is spreading throughout the world and is communicable from person to person by contact or contact with body fluids. #3) How to best, as parents raise our children to be good,...

A long-running battle between the U.S. Forest Service and a Republican congressman who set a runaway fire that damaged federal land has been settled, with a $4,747 hole burned in the lawmaker's pocket. That's the amount Rep. Henry E. Brown Jr. (R-S.C.) paid the agency on April 20 to cover the cost of suppressing the March 5, 2004, blaze that jumped from his property to the adjacent Francis Marion National Forest, charring 20 acres. Brown previously had paid a $250 fine. The payment extinguished a four-year dispute marked by allegations of political pressure, a failed counterclaim by Brown and threats...

Katherine Jenerette says she has entered the Republican primary for the First District Congressional seat out of frustration with the GOP. "The Democrats have a home team advantage now," Jenerette says, "and Republicans need a congressman who can go toe-to-toe with them. We've had a Republican Congress for six years, and we can have more of the same or we can have someone in there that will make a difference. "I am not afraid to say what needs to be said and push legislation for family and values, fiscal responsibility, national security and subjects like immigration and border control. Republicans...

We have a three way Republican Primary in South Carolina’s First Congressional District. Henry Brown is an incumbent Congressman running for this fifth term. I really have no feelings toward Brown one way or the other. He isn’t one to show up in the media much. He received a rating of 96 from the American Conservative Union for 2007, not too shabby and he’s been involved in government for about 27 years, starting in the city council, moving up to state office and then Federal.He has two challengers in the primary. The first, Paul Norris, is the President of...

Brown runs on record; challengers want change Energy, veterans, taxes among 1st Dist. issues By Robert Behre The Post and Courier Saturday, May 24, 2008 First District Rep. Henry Brown is vying to serve a fifth term in Congress, but first he must overcome two Republican challengers who think they can do a better job. Johns Island businessman Paul Norris said he's making his first bid for public office because he wants to use his engineer's approach to solving problems that he said threaten the next generation. Professor and U.S. Army reservist Katherine Jenerette of North Myrtle Beach said...

Jenerette Campaign: It’s Amazing Old Man Brown Can Feed Himself We got a look this morning at the official press announcement on Katherine Jenerette’s run for Congressman Henry Brown’s District 1 seat and noticed a bit of a theme for this challenge to her fellow Republican: “… announced her bid for the Republican nomination for the 1st District US Congressional Seat, currently held by 72-year old Rep. Henry Brown of Hanahan.” “… we needed ‘new-blood’ and a new aggressive conservative congressman to represent the 1st District in Congress.” “…our district here in South Carolina has changed tremendously over the years.”...

Henry Brown Gets a Second GOP Opponent The circling of the wolves continues as Henry Brown gets a second GOP challenger. Desert Storm veteran and former Brown aid Katherine Jenerette of Horry County has filed to unseat her old boss. Charleston businessman Paul Norris filed for the seat last week along with Brown. This three way race could mean good things for Democrat Linda Ketner, as Brown is forced to invest money in the primary race. Side note: Jenerette’s website still has a picture of her and Henry together (as well as a link to Brown’s Congressional website). The site...

Well, it looks as though Dick Elliott and his cohorts are breaking the law and destroying other peoples property. Not nice Dick! When you are operating a political campaign on a shoe-string budget, those signs represent a large part of your budget and also the volunteers and your families time. Like Katherines son and daughter. Since the Democrats are trying to keep Katherines name and face out of the public eye by doing away with the signs, why don't we put it back in the public eye vocally and written? Even though she is endorsed by the Knight-Ritter newspaper in...

Candidate for Senate seat has fresh outlook Sen. Dick Elliott, D-North Myrtle Beach, has represented northern Horry County and several Pee Dee counties in the Senate since the early 1990s and served in the S.C. House for several terms before that. This time around, he has a smart young opponent in Republican Katherine Jenerette, who shows the potential to become a good senator while bringing a fresh outlook to representing the district. She deserves the chance to develop that potential - not least because she shows greater interest than Elliott in working with the Horry County delegation on the issues,...

In addition to the presidential election, North Myrtle Beach voters will decide at the polls Nov. 2 whether to keep incumbent state Sen. Dick Elliott in office or welcome newcomer Katherine Jenerette. Elliott, 67, has a long history in politics and government. Elliott, a Democrat, has been state senator since 1992 and served 10 years prior in the House. He also is the owner of Elliott Realty and a partner in ventures that developed Beachwood Golf Club and Eagle Nest Estates and Golf Club. For Jenerette, a Republican, campaigning is a new experience. This is the 36-year-old's first time running...

Yesterday I received a call from Katherine with some great news - she is running for the SC State Senate Seat. The following is taken from the Myrtle Beach Newspaper - the whole article can be found at http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/mld/sunnews/8318274.htm "Brown's Horry County staff member Katherine Jenerette filed to run on the Republican ticket against state Sen. Dick Elliott, D-North Myrtle Beach. Her husband, Van Jenerette, ran against Brown four years ago. Katherine Jenerette is treading in the steps of state Rep. Thad Viers, R-Myrtle Beach, who also was an Horry County staffer for Brown."
