Meet Dick Harpootlian

Throughout his career, Dick Harpootlian has never backed down from a fight.  As our solicitor, he jailed violent criminals to keep families safe.  As an attorney, he is relentless in serving his clients to achieve justice and protect the rights of all.  As a prosecutor, he convinced a Richland County jury to put notorious serial killer Pee Wee Gaskins in the electric chair.  

Dick ran for the senate because for too long, legislators have gone along to get along with the good old boy system in Columbia. They have been more concerned about the perks of their positions than delivering the real change our state needs.  Over the last 6 years, Dick has challenged the status quo, changing the way business is done by asking hard questions and not accepting a system that doesn’t work for the people.  If you want real improvements to our roads, schools and our economy, we need to continue changing this culture that rewards inaction at the statehouse
