Unemployed Alvin Greene Wins South Carolina Primary
Alvin Greene is an army veteran. Alvin Greene is unemployed. Alvin Greene is the new democratic candidate to oppose South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint.
It may have been a strange path to take, but Alvin Greene just beat Vic Rawl in South Carolina’s primary elections. Greene didn’t have any campaign funds, compared to Rawls $186,000 campaign budget, and most voters didn’t even know who Greene was. But Greene isn’t concentrating on how he got elected.
“I’m not concentrating on how I was elected—it’s history. I’m the Democratic nominee—we need to get talking about America back to work, what’s going on, in America,” said Greene.
Mother Jones reports that Greene paid the $10,000 filing fee out of his
own pocket, and didn’t have much money left over to campaign.
“It was 100 percent out of my pocket. I’m self-managed. It’s hard work, and just getting my message to supporters. I funded my campaign 100 percent out of my pocket and self-managed,” said Greene.
UPDATE: Alvin Greene asked to withdraw due to pending felony charges.
