Message from our Government Relations Committee
The Pickens County Chamber of Commerce has a policy in place to not endorse political candidates or legislation. At this point, the primary goals of the Government Relations Committee are to educate and enlighten the public about legislation, the mechanics of the voting process, and pending issues regarding the county and its residents. While this policy may be altered in the future, there are no plans to do so at this time.
