In endorsing Connor, SC Club for Growth PAC Chairman Chad Walldorf said in a statement,
“Bill Connor is the kind of leader that South Carolina needs. He’s committed to the reform movement and will control wasteful spending, fight for government accountability and stand up for taxpayers. As we saw on Tuesday night, South Carolinians are supporting a new generation of conservative reformers. Bill Connor will join them with a victory on June 22.”
Connor noted the Club’s recent successes in the Treasurers race as well as their history of supporting strong conservative candidates in state politics.
“I am pleased and honored to have the support of the South Carolina Club for Growth,” Connor said. “This is an organization dedicated to real reforms and opposing good old boy network, Establishment politics. Their sterling record of success speaks to the level of their commitment. As a political outsider who has never run for office, I share their vision of limited government and greater freedom for South Carolinians, and I’m grateful for their support.”
