CHARLESTON,
S.C. - The July/Summer 2000 issue of Campaigns & Elections
magazine rated congressional candidate Andy Brack's campaign
Web site as one of the top five Democratic House Web sites
in the nation.
"This
campaign is about providing new leadership in the new century
and this honor from the magazine shows we're already leading
the way with the Internet," said Brack, a 38-year-old Internet
businessman who is running for the open seat held by U.S.
Rep. Mark Sanford. "In Congress, I'll lead the way for people
along the coast by fighting to pay down the debt, improve
education and preserve Social Security."
Brack
said his site, which is found at www.brackforcongress.com,
will be integral in his campaign to win the congressional
seat that stretches from Seabrook Island in Charleston County
to Little River in Horry County.
"Over
the next few months, Internet users along coastal South Carolina
will be able to communicate with me directly and open a new
kind of dialogue that I hope they'll find refreshing and invigorating,"
he said.
Last
month, Brack's campaign because the first along the South
Carolina coast to use Internet advertising to reach voters.
Ads currently are running on the Web site offered by the Myrtle
Beach Sun News (http://www.myrtlebeachaccess.com).
In the
new issue of Campaigns & Elections, Brack's campaign was
fourth in the magazine's "Top 5 Hits" for good Web sites.
Here's what writer Mary Clare Jalonick wrote about the site:
"Andy
Brack, a candidate in South Carolina's 1st District opean
seat race, is walking the length of the district and cataloguing
his experiences on his site. The site is well organized and
entertaining, and Brack's accounts are humorous."
Brack
said he launched the Web site in February 1999 on the same
day he announced in Conway that he was running for Congress.
Since then, he's communicated with hundreds of voters to build
a network of support throughout the region.
Brack,
38, is managing partner of a high-tech Internet company in
Charleston and is a nationally recognized Internet analyst.
Prior to opening his small business, he served as chief spokesman
and press secretary for U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings.
