Summary
Pamela Evette said she called Alan Wilson to congratulate him after losing South Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial runoff and urged supporters to back him in November.
Wilson won 68.6% of the vote, beating the lieutenant governor in a race that ended Evette’s 18-month campaign for the GOP nomination.
Evette, who has served as South Carolina lieutenant governor since 2019, said she would remain committed to the state despite falling short of becoming governor.
Wilson now heads into the general election as the Republican nominee against Democrat Jermaine Johnson, with the GOP holding the office for 28 years.
