Another busy election cycle has brought major wins for the Chamber PAC and important opportunities ahead for our region. As we celebrate strong outcomes across local races, one critical contest still needs our full attention.

In a standout result, 11 of the 12 Chamber PAC endorsed candidates won their elections, a clear signal of support for leaders committed to strengthening our communities.

But the work isn’t finished.

Brian Hill, a Republican running for SC House 98, led the primary with 43 percent of the vote, triggering a runoff election on Tuesday, November 18. Brian is a proven problem solver, community leader and businessman. He’s running because he wants “District 98 to remain a place where my children can raise their families and my grandchildren can thrive. I care deeply about the safety of our neighborhoods, the strength of our schools, and how growth is shaping our community.”

Please support Brian on Tuesday. If you live near Dorchester Road, between North Charleston and Summerville, you may be in SC District 98. To confirm, view the district map or enter your address to identify your House district.

And please join the Chamber PAC in congratulating the following legislators who won their respective elections.

Finally, congratulations to Mayor Haynie on his re-election in the Town of Mount Pleasant, to Alex Crosby on her win for Mount Pleasant Town Council and to Ben D’Allesandro on securing the Charleston City Council District 6 seat. We look forward to working with all newly elected leaders as we continue building a prosperous future for our region.

Thank you to everyone who contributed during this election cycle, whether through a PAC contribution or by serving on the Chamber PAC interview team.
