COLUMBIA, S.C. – Being the state’s top prosecutor is the key part of South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson’s resume, and he wants to make sure it’s a strength in his campaign to be the state’s next governor.
Before any candidate officially launched a campaign, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, a potential Republican candidate for governor, lobbed shots at Wilson questioning his record as attorney general since being elected in 2010.
In his first weeks of formally being a GOP hopeful for governor, Wilson focused on publicly touting his law enforcement record.
His public moves included rolling out endorsements from seven sheriffs in the state, including one Mace claimed credit for putting in office.
