Whereas, for eight years and with great integrity, the Honorable Jason Elliott has represented the citizens of Greenville County's District 22 in the House of Representatives of this great State; and

 

Whereas, born on July 1, 1970, this native and current resident of Greenville is the son of Darry Elliott and Donna E. Davenport and the proud father of Barnes Elliott; and

Whereas, before being elected to guard the freedom and safety of his fellow citizens, Jason Elliott served as assistant solicitor for the Tenth Judicial Circuit (1996-1999) and district director for U.S. Representative Jim DeMint (1999-2003); and

 

Whereas, Representative Elliott believes strongly in personal involvement with his community, and his convictions have led him to serve that community in several capacities.
