South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster is set to deliver his eighth State of the State address on Wednesday, marking his historic milestone as the state’s longest-serving governor at 2,927 days. McMaster, a 77-year-old Republican, has had a long political career spanning over 40 years with evolving political instincts that have helped him stay in office. His tenure as governor is a record in South Carolina’s 249-year history.
Throughout his time in office, McMaster has focused on increasing teacher pay, reducing regulations for businesses, conserving land, and addressing inefficiencies in the state’s colleges and universities. Despite some policy disagreements, he has been commended for his ability to work across party lines and get things done.
McMaster’s political journey, from a legislative assistant to a failed gubernatorial primary candidate to eventually becoming governor with the support of President Donald Trump, is a testament to his resilience and adaptability. As he prepares to address the General Assembly, McMaster’s legacy as one of the state’s greatest governors is already being recognized by colleagues like Senator Lindsey Graham.
