Josh Kendrick is a criminal defense attorney who defines himself as a Greenville guy through and through. Born in Athens, GA, raised in Greenville since he was a baby, J.L. Mann High grad, Clemson marketing degree. He and his law partner run firm offices in both Columbia and Greenville, so he is also already used to spending time in Columbia.

His platform is refreshingly simple with three focus areas. Accessibility to your representative, and an offer to have his phone, email and ear "regardless of their political positions or if they voted for me." He states public education is right, rather than a privilege. And Kendrick is all about finding solutions for affordability.
