Columbia, S.C. – Last evening, the South Carolina Republican Party state executive committee unanimously supported State GOP Chairman Chad Connelly’s leadership in recent election challenges. (story below) The State Executive Committee is comprised of members from all 46 South Carolina counties.

“I am extremely proud of our State Executive Committee for supporting what is right instead of what is popular.

“We don’t always like court rulings, but the party’s duty to uphold the rule of law is more important than any one person’s political ambitions.

“Our party leadership is unified in its mission to defeat Barack Obama and put America back on the path toward a more prosperous future.”
