"I have no doubt that Bill McKown will bring the same dedication, determination and devotion to conservative values and principles to the State Senate as he does to his business ventures and public service. He does a stellar job as a member of the State Aeronautics Commission, as Chairman of the Horry County Airport Authority was my special appointment to the Waccamaw Regional Council of Governments. Republicans looking for an experienced and skilled individual with a lifelong commitment to lower taxes and less government will be proud to have Bill McKown as their State Senator."
The Honorable Ray Cleary, State Senate District 34
Representative Thad Viers (District 68)
“It’s vital that we elect strong Republicans who practice principles over politics. Bill McKown is an old-fashioned conservative when it comes to taxes, spending and government in general. I cannot imagine a more powerful voice of fiscal restraint - or a more positive voice for economic development.”
“Bill McKown clearly understands the difference between local and state government - one reason he was such a major asset to Surfside Beach. Quality of Life issues must be handled at the local level - but when it comes to South Carolina, we need a State Senator who can build on the Republican Majority and will work improve our business climate and fight against wasteful spending. Bill has become a powerful voice for solid Republican values.”
Former Surfside Mayor Roy Hyman
“Dick Elliott has a woefully inadequate record of accomplishments - as a House member for 10 years and as a four-term state senator. In his letter Aug. 26 ("Re-election due for Sen. Elliott"), Cecil Suggs backs up his claims of Elliott's "exceptional job" and "astonishing changes" with empty platitudes: "He cares about the people ... understands the needs of each community ... knows what those needs are ... he knows what we need because he's willing to listen.
After 26 years, even an ardent fan like Suggs can't point to a single significant accomplishment, yet he wants us to elect him again? In District 28, it really is time for new leadership and results we can count on. It's time to elect Bill McKown - a dynamic, hardworking leader who has done an exceptional job in six months as our 1st Congressional District member of the State Aeronautics Commission; he has already been promoted to vice chairman.”

“I was fascinated and amused to read last week that incumbent Democratic Senator Dick Elliott says education is one of his significant accomplishments and primary goals for another four-year term. What planet is this guy living on? In the 26 years since he first went to Columbia, our public schools have remained mired at the bottom of the pile. Drop out rates are higher than ever. What great idea does Elliott plan to introduce to make voters believe he has the desire or ability to do something for our children before another generation suffers through this nonsense?
Our Republican Party platform ranks public education as the #1 challenge and offers real solutions like merit pay, reducing the number of administrators, parental control and school choice and enforcing discipline in the classroom. Let’s elect a man who not only puts children first, but always gets the job done: Bill McKown.”

Governor Mark Sanford, who won Senate District 28 by an overwhelming 20% of the vote in 2002 and again in 2006, looks forward to having Bill McKown on his government reform team so that we can finally put an end to spiraling taxes, wasteful spending and bureaucratic agencies with little or no direct oversight by the executive branch.
“Bill’s a Republican and I support the team. We need help on the Senate side and Bill is somebody I can work with. I need help on the Senate side in upholding what the House does for our community. I need someone who is going to work hard to help us with projects. We just haven’t had that help in the Senate.”
Representative Tracy Edge (District 104)
