Your response: I don't think our SC House District 115 should include Kiawah and Seabrook Islands: they should be with Johns Island. District 115 (which is Folly Beach and most of James Island) should pick up the rest of James Island and if needed to pick up more voters, should go into Johns Island or West Ashley. The people of Folly/James Island share a coastline with Kiawah and Seabrook but not much else.
