About Eugene Platt

Job History:
Eugene Platt for Public Service DistrictThe Democratic Party was successful in their effort to keep Eugene off of the ballot. This is actually pretty standard behavior for both the Democratic and Republican Parties who will do anything in their power to keep out any alternative voices who threaten their shared control of the system. However, the public is tired of politics as usual that gives away public money to wealthy corporations, enters into unhealthy trade agreements, continues to subsidize record-profit-making big oil companies as the environmental impact can be seen more clearly than ever before, and wastes money and lives on unnecessary military conquests around the world while our economy collapses and our schools and infrastructure suffer. People are hungry for third parties like the Green Party who are not sold out to special interests because they refuse to accept any contributions from them and they are a true voice of the American people. The voters of District 115 have been denied their right to vote for Eugene this time, but the Green Party is growing in South Carolina, in the United States of America, and around the world. With your help, there will be an increasing number of Greens representing you at all levels in the years to come.

After graduating from St. Andrew's Parish High School, Eugene served three years in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper and chaplain's assistant. He earned a B.A. at the University of South Carolina and did graduate study at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. He is an elected member of the James Island Public Service District Commission, having served since 1993. He is an active member of St. James Episcopal Church. His political positions are informed by love for country and community and by his understanding of the Gospels.

Important Issues:
South CarolinaEugene Platt on the Environment

Eugene is a longtime member of the Sierra Club and is also a member of the Coastal Conservation League. Irresponsible developers do not consider him their friend. His feelings are reflected in this prayer 'For the Conservation of Natural Resources': Almighty God, in giving us dominion over things on earth, you made us fellow workers in your creation: Give us wisdom and reverence so to use the resources of nature, that no one may suffer from our abuse of them, and that generations yet to come may continue to praise you for your bounty; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Eugene Platt for Green PartyAs the senior member of the James Island Public Service District (PSD), first elected in 1993, I have worked to assure a high level of service for the PSD's constituents and fought to save our community from excessive development by short-sighted, often greedy developers.
