Construction industry wins include: the approval of two school bond referendums in Berkeley and Dorchester Counties, totaling over $375 million; and the penny sales tax increase for transportation in Richland County, where voters approved a measure to complete more than a billion dollars of major road projects over the next 22 years. The election also brought a victory to business leader Tom Rice in the newly created Congressional seat, over pro-union candidate Gloria Tinubu.
