Greenville Remains Strongly Conservative Despite so Many Newcomers
The Upstate of South Carolina is a consistent stronghold for conservative Republicans. With the massive influx of people from the north and northeastern US, there are concerns that the vote will change from bright red to perhaps a more muted purple. An article recently published in the Greenville Journal says that despite the many new people who have moved to the Greenville area, nothing much has really changed as of yet in terms of voting.
Time will tell if this is the case. Certainly there are plenty of people moving here with different opinions on politics. But I also come across a lot of people who are moving here because it is a more conservative area. We often here from conservatives that the new folks that are bailing out of their blue states for a variety of reasons, please don’t bring your same voting habits here to the Upstate. We don’t need to turn this place in to yet another blue haven.

My main work is helping commercial building owners and real estate investors save money on their income taxes by doing cost segregation. I work all over the U.S. but have a lot of clients here in SC and in the southeast in particular. The firm I represent is CSSI, LLC. I love the work! I’ve also been a licensed REALTOR since 2003 and broker since 2007 but my work is limited to just a few clients each year. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
