As Attorney General Henry McMaster seeks the seat of governor, there are three candidates vying to take his place as that state’s top prosecutor. Among the three candidates running for attorney general, Robert Bolchoz worked as a prosecutor for ten years. After being out of the field, he says he’s ready to get back in and step it up.

I think we need not just a chief prosecutor, but a chief watchdog at the state level to look out for the taxpayers. I’m not sure we have that right now and I think we need it, and that’s what I wanna try and do.

Alan Wilson says he has experience in several areas needed to be Attorney General:

As someone who is the only combat veteran who’s ever served in Iraq that’s running in this race, I’ve had the opportunity to lead soldiers into combat. As the only person in this race that’s prosecuted a case in 21st Century, I have the prosecution experience that the attorney general needs in order to run that office respectively. I’m a conservative who believes in the strict construction of the constitution and believes in strong 10th Amendment rights and state sovereignty and individual liberty.

Also running is Leighton Lord.

As three candidates run for the seat to replace gubernatorial candidate Henry McMaster as attorney general, Leighton Lord says he has what it takes. He says his experience qualifies him to be South Carolina’s next top prosecutor:

Attorney General is the office where I think I can make the most difference in our state. I’ve got experience working with law enforcement, I have experience running one of the largest law firms in the state. I also have experience getting things done. I represented Boeing and their recent move to South Carolina.

Lord says he’s been told the next attorney general will be given less money from the General Assembly. He says if that’s the case, he’s the best many to protect the tax payers, as he says he has proven he can do more with less.

Also running for attorney general are Alan Wilson and Robert Bolchoz.
