COLUMBIA, S.C. — In this Connect to the Capitol extra, we have an extended conversation with Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter in the first of our “Women in Politics” series.
We are examining the experiences and influence of women in South Carolina politics.
Rep. Cobb-Hunter has witnessed more of the modern history of the South Carolina House than any other current member. She was first elected in 1992. and became the first person of color to lead a legislative caucus in South Carolina. She now serves as first vice-chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
In this Extra, she joins us to discuss what has changed for women in public office, the declining civility of the House chamber, the rise of politics designed for social media and the issues voters should be considering in this year’s November election.
