Eric Jon Boerner, a U.S. presidential candidate, will host a town hall event at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 24, at the Restaurant at Second Mill in Sumter. "South Carolina plays a crucial role in our nation's tourism and agricultural development sectors," said Boerner in the release. "Like Iowans, people here are worried about the economic downturn and rising inflation rates. I want to assure them that we can recover from these challenges under fiscally responsible leadership. I am confident that I am the right candidate for this job."
