Meet the Primary Candidates: House District 79

What happens when a fast-growing South Carolina district wrestles with education, health care access, and political power? Rep. Hamilton Grant discusses school safety, teacher retention, women’s health, Medicaid expansion, and why he believes public education deserves stronger investment. He also shares how his background in business development, community advocacy, and leadership shaped his approach to serving Richland County. The conversation also touches on South Carolina State University, political division at the State House, and what leadership looks like in a district where the primary will likely decide the race.
