  • Tuesday, June 9 is Election Day. I'm running for Commissioner of Agriculture because South Carolina agriculture cannot afford on-the-job training.

  • Why is the political machine spending nearly half a million dollars to pick South Carolina's next Agriculture Commissioner? That's a question every Republican voter should be asking. This office oversees the food you eat, the gas you buy, and the farms that feed our state. It requires a proven executive — not a political insider learning on the job. Read my op-ed below, and make a plan to VOTE WEST!

  • For far too long, South Carolina has rolled out the red carpet for other industries while agriculture was left behind. Farmers have been left dealing with rising costs, shrinking markets, and lost processing capacity while political insiders offered more talk than action. Agriculture is too important to be treated like an afterthought. This job requires proven executive leadership — not another political insider learning on the job.

  • HOLD ON TO SOUTH CAROLINA. 🇺🇸 There is nothing stopping Communist China from buying American farmland. Land tied to our food supply. Land that should belong to American farmers — NOT foreign adversaries. China is not our friend. We cannot stand by while foreign interests buy up our farmland. Career politicians may flip-flop. I won’t. As Commissioner of Agriculture, I’ll fight to protect South Carolina farmland and keep South Carolina land in South Carolina hands. 🗳️ Vote Fred West for C
