Former S.C. Gov. David Beasley gave his endorsement earlier today for political newcomer Carroll Campbell, III, who is running for the U.S. District 1 Congressional House seat.

"The last thing we need to do now is send another politician to Washington," Beasley said. "It is time to send a businessman to Washington. One who understands what it means to create jobs."

Campbell, used to own a chain of Wendy's franchise restaurants including some in the Grand Strand. Campbell sold the stores in 2006, prior to the economic recession. He said between 1995 and 2006, his stores helped to create about 500 jobs.

Campbell said he plans to release his jobs plan in the next few weeks. For now, he is focusing on improving infrastructure like highways and the port of Georgetown to bring in jobs.
