Editor s Note:
When The Greenville News and Anderson Independent Mail initially published these candidate submissions, we did not apply the same standards to all three candidates.
Candidates were told to submit answers of 200 words or less, and we did not take the time to edit down some answers that came in long.
We recognize that this did not allow all candidates and equal forum to state their views, and gave them the opportunity to expand beyond the initial 200-word limit.
We strive to be fair in our newsgathering, and wanted to be sure all candidates had an equal voice in advance of this special election. Therefore, we are republishing this story with the expanded answers.
