VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

2/27/2013

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR WESLEY DONEHUE FOR AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING HIS GOALS AND FOR HIS DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM FOR BEING NAMED TO THE 2013 STATE NEWSPAPER'S 20 UNDER 40.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to learn that Wesley Donehue has been named to the 2013 State newspaper's 20 Under 40; and

Whereas, for the past ten years, The State has honored twenty rising business stars under the age of forty in the Midlands who are committed to improving life in South Carolina's capital city; and

Whereas, these are young professionals who are tireless advocates stepping up to lead the Columbia community into the future; and

Whereas, in 2012 Wesley was named one of Columbia's 50 Most Influential People; and

Whereas, Wesley is also quickly becoming known as one of the top political internet consultants in the country. Named a 'Rising Star' and 'Innovator of the Year' by Campaigns and Elections magazine, Wesley has been working in politics consistently since the age of fifteen in South Carolina; and

Whereas, he worked for Jim DeMint's 2004 Senate campaign and then for Mike Bouchard's 2006 U.S. Senate campaign in Michigan; and

Whereas, in early 2010, Wesley left his role as Vice President of First Tuesday Strategies and President of Under The Power Lines to open Push Digital; and

Whereas, Push Digital, named one of the most important consulting firms in South Carolina by The State newspaper in 2012, has played integral roles in numerous federal and state political races, and has garnered a reputation for both unmatched innovation and the ability to raise millions of dollars for campaigns and organizations; and

Whereas, his Internet show Pub Politics is a local weekly show and is on national news networks and is where he talks about his passion: the intersection of politics and technology; and

Whereas, when not traveling to Push Digital's second office in San Francisco, California, he and his wife Elizabeth are active members of First Baptist Church in Columbia; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are grateful for the creative and critical thinking that have given Wesley a reputation as a problem solver and for the energy, passion, and commitment to excellence that he brings to his work. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor Wesley Donehue for aggressively pursuing his goals and for his dedication and commitment to community affairs, and to congratulate him for being named to the 2013 State newspaper's 20 under 40.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Wesley Donehue.
