INDICTED IN FEDERAL COURT FOR STEM-CELL SCHEME
The scandal he hopes you’ve forgotten.
Stephen Goldfinch faced federal charges for misbranding stem cells in connection with an unapproved stem-cell harvesting operation.
Federal reporting confirms Goldfinch intended to plead guilty to the charges
Media coverage consistently identifies the operation as unlicensed and in conflict with FDA rules.
Even though the case was settled, the federal indictment remains a major credibility concern for voters.

TRIED TO STRIP POWER FROM AN ELECTED CONSERVATIVE TREASURER
An insider move against a watchdog chosen by the voters.
The South Carolina Senate voted to remove Treasurer Curtis Loftis, an independently elected conservative, over a disputed accounting issue.
Loftis argued the move was a political attempt to undermine voter authority.
Goldfinch participated in the Senate proceedings, speaking during the removal hearing and supporting structural changes that would move Treasurer oversight to appointed bodies — not voters.
Critics described the effort as a power grab by Columbia insiders.

South Carolina needs a fighter — not a talker.
SOURCES:
THREE VOTES. ONE RESULT.
While presenting himself as a conservative, Goldfinch voted three times in ways that advanced the nomination of Democratic attorney James Smith to the bench.
Goldfinch voted to table a motion meant to stop Smith’s nomination.
He voted against recommitting Smith's nomination back to the Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC)
Each vote had the same effect: moving forward the nomination of a pro-choice, far-left democratic figure to a judgeship in South Carolina.
Three votes. Same outcome. Goldfinch helped move James Smith to the bench.
