SC Businessman Rom Reddy Launches Bid for Governor, Campaign Says
Rom Reddy launches a self-funded campaign focused on government reform and tax cuts, aiming to reshape South Carolina's GOP primary with a seven-figure ad buy, campaign says.
- On March 16, 2026, Rom Reddy, businessman and DOGE SC founder, filed to run for South Carolina governor and launched an immediate seven-figure statewide two-week advertising buy.
- Reddy says his seawall dispute with South Carolina Department of Environmental Services motivated his run, describing it as an example of the administrative state run amok.
- Reddy proposes a three-year elimination plan for the state income tax, limits on campaign donations, a Constitutional Commission in the executive branch, and judicial reform to limit judges' discretion.
- His entry could rapidly reshape the GOP primary by injecting significant resources, with Attorney General Alan Wilson and Rep. Nancy Mace tied at 22% and many likely Republican voters undecided.
- With filing closing March 30, Reddy plans to tour the state and deploy DOGE SC's Palmetto Revolution for the June 9, 2026 primary.
