Press Release

Washington, Dec 6 -

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement after Senator Jim DeMint announced his resignation:

Wilson stated, “For the past fourteen years, Senator Jim DeMint has represented South Carolina exceptionally well in the United States House and Senate by fighting for limited government and expanded freedom. Although we are sad to see Senator DeMint leave political office, the Heritage Foundation will be a wonderful fit for our nation’s most conservative Senator.  I am hopeful Governor Nikki Haley will appoint a strong, conservative leader to serve as the Palmetto State's junior Senator.”
