Last week, at press conference in West Columbia, Governor-Elect Alan Wilson announced his transition team. The team is led by co-chairs attorneys Thad Westbrook and Randy Lowell. Wilson said that this team would function like an executive board and help guide the transition process.
“When I began running for Attorney General, I was going to say for Governor, old habits die hard, when I began running for Governor, one of the things that Mike and I agreed that we would put families first in everything that we do. And so when it comes to administering government, everything that this transition team is designed to do is to set up government, the next administration coming in, that will put families first,” said Governor- Elect Alan Wilson. “Everything we do, our North Star, will be to make our state more affordable for South Carolina families, to make our economy more profitable and prosperous for South Carolina businesses like this business right here, and also to make our government more accountable to you, the people of South Carolina, to make it more responsive to you and also to make it more transparent.”
In addition to Westbrook and Lowell, Wilson’s transition team includes:
Jennifer Wilson, wife of the Governor-Elect who works at the University of South Carolina.
Lt. Governor-elect Mike Reichenbach.
Charisse Reichenbach.
Mikee Johnson, board chair and co-president of US Brick.
Bob Castellani, founder of North American Rescue and a U.S. Air Force veteran who founded North American Rescue.
Jim Brown, CEO of BCN Management.
