Sen. Grooms gets Champion award
State Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Bonneau, received the Palmetto Family Council's Legislative Champion award.
The nonprofit education foundation recognized Grooms for playing a role in "every pro-family piece of legislation" the Legislature made law during its last session, said Oran P. Smith, council president.
Grooms said, "The Family Council represents the ideals I've supported from my first day in office — faith, family, traditional values."
The council lists it primary issues of concern to include life-long committed marriage, the relationship between parent and child, sexual responsibility in youth and adults, the definition of marriage, life issues, legal issues and public and private gaming.
Grooms, first elected in 1997, serves parts of Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester counties. He is chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.
Grooms and his wife have three sons.
