Alan Wilson

NEW AD: Convoy The story of the convoy attack as relayed by those who were there.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Last week, I launched Wilson’s Waste Removal, a plan to take out the trash in government and put South Carolina families first. For too long, government has grown while families are being squeezed. That ends now. We’re cutting waste, vetoing earmarks, auditing every agency, and using new technology to root out fraud and abuse, all with one goal: make South Carolina more affordable for families and more profitable for businesses. It’s time to clean house and put your money back where it belongs, in your pocket. wilsonswasteremovalsc.com

I’ve served in the toughest environments. I know what it means to lead when it counts, both in uniform and in office. As I run for governor, I’ll bring that same focus, make the hard calls, and never waver.

On "This Week in South Carolina," @agalanwilson shares with host Gavin Jackson about why moving from attorney general to governor feels like a “natural transition,” and how that experience shapes his approach to leadership. Watch the full episode here: scetv.org/watch/this-wee…

Great to see this from @AGAlanWilson. It’s reassuring to know that there are still Republican elected officials who know how and have the courage to fight.

I fully support @POTUS @realDonaldTrump’s call to redraw South Carolina’s lines. The General Assembly has the legal authority to do so. I was part of the fight in Louisiana, and there’s a clear path here.

More opioid settlement funds are coming to South Carolina. After years of taking on Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, we secured nearly $73 million for our state as part of a $7.4 billion nationwide settlement. This crisis didn’t happen by accident. It was fueled by deception and misleading practices from Big Pharma that put profits over people and downplayed the risks of these medications. Families across our state paid the price. Now we’re delivering real resources for treatment, recovery, and prevention so fewer families have to go through this. We led this fight. And we’re not stopping.

Looking forward to it!

@Elizabe59065456 Opioid abatement efforts, funding addiction treatment, recovery programs, prevention initiatives, and support for families and communities on the front lines of this crisis.

@AGAlanWilson How will the 73M award will be used?

HUGE victory: After leading the charge for nearly a decade, we secured a $7.4 billion opioid settlement with Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family. South Carolina will receive nearly $73 million. But no amount of money can undo the damage. Lives lost. Families shattered. Communities changed forever. This crisis was fueled by greed and deception. Now, real resources are going to prevention, treatment, and recovery, and those responsible are being held accountable. The opioid epidemic is still taking lives every day. This fight is not over. I will keep doing everything in my power to protect South Carolina families.

One year ago, Logan Federico’s life was stolen. Her father, Stephen Federico, and I wrote about how the system failed her and why she should still be here. We owe Logan more than remembrance. We owe her action. Please take a moment today and pray for the Federico family. aol.com/news/sc-ag-ala…

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Grateful for the strong support from the Greater Lowcountry Republican Club. We’re building real momentum across South Carolina because this campaign is focused on what matters—making our state more affordable for families and more profitable for businesses, while keeping our communities safe and government accountable. We’re showing up, earning support, and leading this race the right way. Let’s keep going.

Great to be in McCormick and grateful for the coverage from Shoreline Magazine. This campaign is about showing up, listening, and having real conversations with people across our state about the challenges they’re facing every day. Too many families feel like they’re working harder but falling further behind. That’s why we’re focused on making South Carolina more affordable for families and more profitable for businesses. It starts with cutting wasteful spending, lowering taxes, and bringing real accountability back to government. We’re building this campaign one community at a time, and we’re just getting started.

Gas prices are crushing families across South Carolina. I’ve been saying it. We need action now. Suspend the gas tax. Put money back in people’s pockets and give families real relief at the pump.

This past week, I joined a 20-state coalition to take on racial discrimination in hiring. Hiring should be based on merit, not race. No quotas. No favoritism. Just equal treatment under the law. My job is simple: protect South Carolinians from discrimination in the workplace and make sure opportunity is based on hard work, not identity.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The @ClemsonCRs endorsed our campaign this week. When others stayed quiet, these students stood up and fought back, and I was right there with them. Proud to have their support as we build a movement ready to lead, defend our values, and win.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: I’m launching Wilson’s Waste Removal. Families are being squeezed. We’re going to cut wasteful spending, veto earmarks, overhaul the Department of Commerce, eliminate the income tax. Less waste in Columbia means more money in your pocket. Let’s get to work.

🚨💊 #OpioidUpdate: @AGAlanWilson announces $73 million in settlement proceeds headed to South Carolina... fitsnews.com/2026/05/01/opi…

BREAKING: ATTORNEY GENERAL ALAN WILSON ANNOUNCES PURDUE/SACKLER $7.4 BILLION OPIOID SETTLEMENT NOW IN EFFECT. After years of fighting, this historic settlement is finally delivering results. South Carolina was one of the first states in the country to take on Purdue Pharma back in 2017. This crisis has cost thousands of South Carolinians their lives. Now, we’re seeing real consequences. Our state will receive nearly $73 million, with the majority going directly to opioid abatement efforts, funding addiction treatment, recovery programs, prevention initiatives, and support for families and communities on the front lines of this crisis. This is part of a much larger effort that will deliver over $750 million to help South Carolina fight back against opioid addiction. The Sackler family is permanently banned from selling opioids in the United States. More than 30 million internal documents will be made public. This fight has always been about standing up for victims, holding bad actors accountable, and helping communities heal. And we’re not done.

Big win for South Carolina’s fishermen. Thank you to @POTUS @realDonaldTrump for cutting through the red tape and delivering for our anglers. For years, the Biden administration ignored the data and kept seasons short, limiting access and hurting our coastal communities. This is what happens when leadership puts people over bureaucracy. I’ll always stand with South Carolina’s fishermen.
