Mark Glenn
Treasurer
State Republican Party
Our South Carolina Republican Party is a national model of how to win.
Republicans are elected in all statewide Constitutional offices, both United States Senate seats, six of the seven Congressional districts, a supermajority in the State Senate, a super majority in the State House, and in control of many countywide and county district offices.
While we have enjoyed tremendous victories, we are not and will not get complacent. The key to future Republican success across the state is a powerful state party who is continuing to identify more people who share our conservative values and train more activists in how to be effective in the political arena.

Our Republican Party Creed
I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon.
If I can seek opportunity, not security, I want to take the calculated risk to dream and build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for dole.
I prefer the challenges of life to guaranteed security, the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout.
I will never cower before any master, save my God.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid. To think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations; to face the whole world boldly and say, “I am a free American.”
