South Carolina Governor-Elect Wilson Holds First Transition Press Conference, Unveils Team and Audit Plan

South Carolina Governor-elect Alan Wilson and Lieutenant Governor-elect Mike Reichenbach held their first formal transition press conference on the morning of November 6 in West Columbia, unveiling Wilson's transition team at Reeley's Auto Body Shop, where Wilson held his first job at 15. Wilson, who won Tuesday's election and takes office in January as the state's 118th governor, laid out his governing priorities and announced a 'Families First' audit initiative to review state spending for waste, fraud and abuse, with a public website to track expenditures.

Wilson said his priorities include making life more affordable for families, eliminating the state income tax, cutting the state property tax, modernising state government and using technology to improve services, and he pledged to work across the aisle with legislators. Reichenbach, a state senator from Florence, will be the first Black person to hold the lieutenant governor's office since Reconstruction. The two are to be sworn in on January 13.
