🎉 Thank you, RICHLAND COUNTY—for electing Overture Walker as your Councilman for District 8—We did it!! I am ready to get to work and will not let you down.
It was a pleasure to speak to the Richland Northeast Democrats this morning. You all are such vital members of our community and I look forward to working with you all in the future.
I really appreciated the opportunity to attend the @RichlandCoSC#Covid memorial program. Hats off to my Councilwoman @gdbarron for her vision to make this somber memorial possible.
I wish more people could have heard the message of hope and perseverance that was masterfully delivered by Councilman @Overture4RCSC during yesterday’s @ScReemerge ceremony celebrating returning citizens. Thankful for men and women who are making the most of their second chance!
Standing in my bathroom getting ready this morning when my daughter walks in and decides to give me an update on the George Floyd trial and inquire about the most recent mass shooting in California. Takeaways:
3 Final Four Appearances and a national title since 2015. Congrats to Coach @dawnstaley Staley, her staff, and the young ladies who have worked hard and performed superbly under Staley's tutelage. Let's see if we can hang another title banner in the rafters in 2021.

As a newly minted councilman, I pledge not to embarrass our county or do anything that detracts from the fine work performed on a daily basis by administration, staff, and the rank and file.
Day 1 of Richland County Council Annual Retreat. There are so many bright and talented individuals working for your county government. Their contributions and dedication to improving the quality of life in Richland County have gone unnoticed largely because of negative press.
Richland County Councilmembers are meeting in downtown Columbia for their annual retreat. The meetings will be streamed live on Facebook and YouTube. For more information, visit https://t.co/1dUNTw3sFb.
"Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished."
"We've seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it. Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy."
