Stephen Goldfinch, a Republican member of the South Carolina Senate, is running for Attorney General, emphasizing his experience and commitment to public safety. As a veteran and military prosecutor, Goldfinch has prosecuted serious criminal cases and worked alongside law enforcement, prosecutors, and commanders responsible for sensitive legal and national security matters.
Experience and Qualifications
Goldfinch’s path to this race has been shaped by four key experiences: as a veteran and military prosecutor, a conservative legislator, a business owner, and a conservative Republican who believes the Constitution means what it says. He has worked to strengthen criminal laws, increase penalties for violent offenders, support law enforcement, protect the Second Amendment, and defend innocent life.
Goldfinch believes that the Attorney General’s office should focus on helping clear violent crime backlogs, prosecuting dangerous criminals, protecting children from predators, combating fentanyl trafficking, cracking down on public corruption, and supporting local law enforcement. He emphasizes that the Attorney General is not South Carolina’s chief political commentator, but rather the state’s chief law enforcement officer.
A Commitment to Public Safety
Goldfinch’s commitment to public safety is rooted in his personal experience. During his deployment to North Africa in 2023, he suffered a serious injury and was reminded of the importance of protecting South Carolina families. He believes that his experience and qualifications make him the best candidate for the job, and he is dedicated to serving the people of South Carolina as their next Attorney General.
