A standing-room only crowd at Aiken’s Founding Father’s day event embraced Alan Wilson’s call to defend the constitution as the only prosecutor in the race for South Carolina Attorney General.

Wilson received more than 80% support during a straw poll taken at the event.

Whether on the battlefield in Iraq or in courtrooms in South Carolina, Wilson emphasized his unique qualifications to become the top law enforcement officer in the Palmetto state.

Rep. Joe Wilson was on hand to moderate the event and introduce all the candidates for Tuesday’s runoff election.
