For over 30 years, I have had the honor of wearing the uniform of the United States Army. From serving in Iraq to serving alongside some of the finest men and women our nation has to offer, my military service has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
Today, on Veterans Day, we honor the brave Americans who answered the call to serve, sacrificed for our freedoms and defended the nation we love.
I know that service is more than wearing a uniform. It is a commitment to something greater than yourself, a willingness to sacrifice and a bond with those who have stood beside you.
May God bless our veterans, our military families and the United States of America.
Happy Veterans Day!
My first job taught me the value of hard work. Now, those lessons are coming full circle as I prepare to serve as South Carolina’s next governor.
It was special to return to Reeley’s Body Shop, where I had my very first job washing cars, to announce our transition team.
Just like the work done in that shop, our mission is to repair what’s broken, improve what isn’t working and make government work better for the people of South Carolina. https://t.co/iRGGkSK0nE
.@AGAlanWilson, who will be inaugurated in January, announced his transition team in a press conference Friday at Reeley’s Body Shop in West Columbia, where he had his first job at 15 years old washing cars.
“A shop like this is where you come to fix a car, repair a car, improve a car, and that’s really what this transition is about. It’s about repairing those aspects of government, reforming those aspects of government, improving those aspects of government that are broken or damaged, and that we want to make work better for the people of South Carolina,” Wilson said

South Carolina, the NEW official Governor-Elect X account is now live!
I encourage everyone to give @GovElectWilson a follow for important announcements, transition updates and the work ahead as we prepare to serve South Carolina families.
Good recap from a journalist, who has covered enough ground this cycle to write a decent book. 2025-2026 SC politics was a wild ride, well covered by @IAmNickReynolds
Governor-elect Alan Wilson announced his transition team as he prepares to become South Carolina’s 118th governor. Here's the list - https://t.co/J1st1twkoj
Today, I announced our transition team at Reeley’s Body Shop in West Columbia, where I got my first job washing cars.
That first job taught me the value of hard work, responsibility and accountability. Now, as I prepare for my next job as South Carolina’s 118th governor, those same principles will guide our administration.
We’re bringing together a new generation of conservative leadership to put South Carolina families first, make life more affordable and bring real reform to state government.
The hard work starts now.
WATCH: My full remarks from today’s transition team press conference.
The election is over. Now it's time to get to work.
My priorities are clear: make South Carolina more affordable, our economy more prosperous, and our government more accountable.
I won't promise to be a perfect governor, but I promise to be an accessible, accountable governor who will always fight for you and your family.
Our future is bright, South Carolina. Let's get to work!
House Republicans held the majority in South Carolina and we are ready to return to deliver results! Thank you South Carolina for making your voices heard. 🙏
THE POLLS ARE CLOSED, SOUTH CAROLINA!
If you're still in line, STAY IN LINE! You still have the right to cast your vote.
No matter what tonight brings, I want to say THANK YOU.
To my family, our incredible team, our volunteers, supporters, and every South Carolinian we've met along this journey—I am forever grateful.
It has been the honor of a lifetime to travel this great state and share our vision for its future.
God bless you, and God bless South Carolina!
Today is Election Day. Following a big election, things always get driven by a communication narrative and often times, those who really put in the labor get forgotten. Before the final results are counted, I wanted to take a second to talk about the folks that really put in the labor. Not the consultants, not the managers. The people actually do the hard work.
First, the Victory Operation in South Carolina averaged around 300-350 volunteers per weekend over the last six weeks. They made calls, knocked doors, waved signs, wrote on postcards and spent countless hours of labor to help the various campaigns. County Parties throughout the state, led by SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick, did a great job getting organized.
For the operation itself, and these are the guys and girls that never get enough credit, they've been working non-stop since September on their GOTV operation. Led by @MckoyTrevin and with organizational help from @pattonbyars they led a ragtag team of first time folks tremendous results.
Over the last month, the field program has knocked close to 200,000 doors throughout the state and made over 500,000 calls. Tremendous results. 200,000 doors if very difficult to do in a month, especially when its almost all volunteers.
They poured into over 20 state house races and pushed the statewide ticket far and wide.
@TheKarchLine led efforts along the seaboard. @wmillerlewis and @ShuaGoodwin did a great job leading their regions.
Over 75 interns spent their time knocking and calling, including working borderline full time over the last couple weeks.
End of the day, the field and touch program: Trevin, Patton, Joshua, Addison, Miller, Ryan, @DillonH_24, Gage Hatcher, RD Phillips, Bailey Quick, Ryan Costa, Anderson, Tiffany Mauk, @mharrell_sc ,@LoganNeeley2, Matthew Christopher, @GarrettLacySC and Dawlton will never get the credit they deserve.
Win, lose or draw, these folks were the absolute backbone of our state operation and regardless of the post election spin, these young folks deserve a ton of credit for their dedication and efforts. They all have an extremely bright future. Best Victory Program I've seen and most dedicated effort.
