For all my wonderful, dedicated supporters, it was the honor of our lives for Renee and me to meet you, learn about you, and get your support. It was an incredible achievement that on the morning of the Trump endorsement, we were tied for the lead. However, as you know, it is difficult to run against a Trump endorsement when almost one quarter of the electorate was undecided. Renee and I wanted to give the voters a choice for a different path devoid of special interests and money. We wanted to do it with ideas and appeal to the good in people, and that’s what we tried to do with a campaign that did not get in the gutter. Hopefully, it will inspire others to do the same, and that would be a win for me. The establishment system is powerful, and the people chose otherwise. In a constitutional republic, I accept that choice. I have never been in politics before this and do not intend to be in the public forum after this. My only request is that we hold the politicians to a higher standard than the gutter politics of appealing to the underbelly of humanity. As believers, we believe we are all children of God, made in His image, and God wants us to be brothers and sisters and find the common good, not divide and hate to gain power and money. Look for this characteristic more than anything else when you vote in the future to keep the dream of our founders alive: one united nation under God. I do not know what our next steps are, but Renee and I will continue to find a way to help people, especially children, through our charitable foundation. If there is one thing I learned, it is that people and children are suffering with this corrupt family court system, and we are going to explore how we can help people caught in this system in our capacity as private citizens. I have never had social media accounts before DOGESC, and in the next few weeks I will go back to not having social media accounts. However, once we set up something for family court, we will post a contact email on Renee’s Facebook in the next couple of months to try to work with you on helping with family court. Stay tuned. Finally, thank you so much for being on this journey with us. I sincerely believe God has a plan for us, and I look forward to what His plan is for my family, as long as it is not in politics!! Lots of love, Renee and Rom Reddy and family

I have been contacted by several folks asking for some guidance with the pick for AG since neither candidate in the runoff is well known. As you all know as someone who ran for office myself,I do not endorse or seek endorsements. As a private citizen, I can only tell you my thinking on this race. The AG role can have a major impact in 3 areas- aggressive prosecution , focusing on corruption and focusing on constitutional violations by government itself through the agency state. I liked Pascoe for his tough stand on prosecution. However, he did not make the runoff. Of the AG candidates that made the runoff Goldfinch and Stumbo, I do not know and have not met Stumbo. I have had interaction with Goldfinch and while I do not know his approach to prosecution or focus on corruption, I know he shares my view that the agency state needs to be reigned in especially when they blatantly assume police powers or violate the constitution. This is an area I feel strongly about. Additionally Senator Goldfinch was a big supporter of our judicial reform bill and he agreed to lead the floor fight but unfortunately it got stuck in judiciary committee. So, while I do not make endorsements I do plan to vote for Stephen Goldfinch in the AG runoff. Rom Reddy

"We will appeal to the good in people. We will get results." "We are supposed to be servants of the people who elect us and we've gotten away from that, on the 250th anniversary we're going to go back to it."

There are two tiers of candidates in this race. Mace and Norman have no mathematical path to victory. If you want an outsider to fix this state, vote Reddy. South Carolina cannot afford an Evette vs. Wilson insider vs. insider runoff. It's time for something different.

It has been a long, grueling campaign but we are now coming to an end with the primaries. As you know, the primaries are dominated by the donors and special interests. If we are to break the cabal, not only do you have to vote but you have to take a few friends and family and overwhelm the system. That’s how revolutions start and what we need to do to take our state back. Win or lose thanks for your support.  Please get out and vote early. This is the 250th anniversary of our founding and your vote will forever be recorded for posterity! God bless.

When I decided to enter the gubernatorial race in March, a big consideration was financing the campaign. After much research and discussion, my wife Renee and I decided that the only way we can achieve what we wanted to accomplish was to fund the campaign ourselves with no donations from any individual or entity. This was, of course, a major decision for our family and to my knowledge had never been done before in a statewide gubernatorial race. Why did we make this decision? Approximately 15 years ago, the US Supreme court ruled that Super PACs could make unlimited donations to campaigns as long as they did not coordinate with the campaigns. They left the disclosure rules to the states. SC decided to have little or no disclosure. Further - unlike a lot of states who defined coordinate with campaigns like not sharing vendors, allowing staff to skip back and forth etc., SC did not define "coordinate" so there is no way to enforce "no coordination". As such we have the wild west of super PAC's and 501 C4's being able to fund political campaigns with secret money and they do not have to disclose who their source donors are. How has this manifested itself in South Carolina? Let's say a data center operator wants to get traction in SC. They donate to a super PAC (so you do not know who donated). The super PAC goes to a candidate for Governor, legislator or even county council or Mayor and says "We will donate $100k or $1 million to helping your election efforts. If you win, you will support and vote for this data center". Now, you the citizen don't want that data center. You go to your representatives and lobby. But at most you have donated $ 1000 (often the donation limit for individuals). Who do you think they listen to? This money virus started out in federal elections, went to statewide elections and now is all over the state and has brought this state to its knees. That's why no citizen agenda makes any headway. Donor and special interest agendas do. In a red state, look what we have over the last decade- big time office leases with the biggest donor to the Republican party, Ports authority and Santee Cooper boards filled with donors. Data centers, batter plants, solar panel plants, electric jeeps, etc. Sound like a red state agenda. Nope. It is a donor agenda. No one will fix it because everyone has their hand in the cookie  jar. While it is a major financial sacrifice for us, I decided that if we cannot change these disclosure laws, coordination laws and fix the corrupt money in the system, no change is possible. For the first time in our generation, I am running a statewide campaign with no one controlling my agenda. I think it is imperative that you, the voter, understand this and realize that if we do not fix this, nothing  is sustainable and we will never get out of this ditch. Today, 31 percent plus of our legislators are trial lawyers while less than 1 percent of the working population are trial lawyers. You wonder why no tort reform gets done, and insurance of all kinds is out of control? Look at the dark money from the trial lawyer lobby that keeps their people in place and you will have your answer. But wait, you can't find the source of the money even if you tried to. Thomas Jefferson said "We cannot be ignorant and free." The more you know, the more determined you will be to make change and take our government back. I will get it done. The career politicians with their dark money will not. You cannot change a system you are part of.

As you all go to the polls Tuesday, I want to frame the current state of the Governor’s race. The field has separated into 2 tiers. There are 3 candidates in Tier 1 - Wilson, Evette and myself. 2 out of these 3 will be in the runoff. For those of you tired of Columbia politics, I am the only one that can prevent one insider (Wilson) running against another insider (Evette). You have to decide if this state can afford 8 more years of this. Even though I am the only outsider businessman who has never been in politics and takes zero campaign donations, the “outsider” vote is being split between me, career politician Norman and Nancy Mace. For those of you on the fence who maybe are considering Norman or Mace, please recognize they do not have a path to the runoff and by voting for them and splitting the outsider vote, you will inadvertently be setting up an insider vs insider battle between Wilson and Evette. Let’s see why that would be a disaster. In the last 10 years of Evette/McMaster, the S.C. population went up roughly 10 percent while state spending soared over 100 percent and we became the highest income tax state of any Republican run state. Meanwhile nothing changed on key metrics such as education, roads, median family income or violent crime. Do we want to reward failure by promoting it with Evette? If S.C. were a private entity in big trouble, would you pick the company attorney to become CEO and fix it? That’s what you would be doing with Alan who has been the state lawyer for 15 years and has never had any governing experience. An insider attorney is not a turnaround CEO. In my case, not only have I been a CEO of multiple operating companies, I have hired and developed CEO’s and leaders of companies we bought. I have a very detailed 12 page newsletter (available under the policy tab of our website Reddyforgoveror.com) that tells you what I will do and how to transfer money and power back to the citizen including eliminating the income tax the right way by rebooting spending, eliminating the property tax on cars/ trucks and phasing out residential property tax for seniors. We will also restrict uncontrolled growth and ban data centers. So, in summary- regardless of how you feel about the merits of a Mace or Norman or Alan, please be mindful of not setting this race up to be another insider vs insider contest. I am the only remaining option to break this cabal. I humbly ask for your consideration and your vote Tuesday. -Rom Reddy

We must end the politics of division. This isn't about black vs white or even liberal vs conservative. This is about the citizens vs a broken system.

To my many supporters including some of my employees back to my first South Carolina plant from 1990, thank you for your texts, emails and calls in recent days expressing support for me and my family against the vile, personal attacks from Mace and Norman as we zoomed past them in the polls making their candidacy all but dead. Ms. Mace apparently now publicly claims that despite me being an American citizen longer than she has been alive, I am a “foreigner” because presumably I do not look like her. That would also make other naturalized citizens such as Alexander Hamilton, twenty percent of WW2 veterans who bled for our freedom and more recently Melania Trump and Elon Musk foreigners not qualified to do her job which can beat best be described as nothing. According to Mace, Steve Hilton, Republican gubernatorial candidate leading the California race who is a naturalized citizen endorsed by President Trump is not qualified. In 3 terms in Congress, her only primary sponsor bill is renaming a post office in Hilton Head. I remind our supporters that this is the same person who last year called our cops, who put their lives on the line for strangers, “ f—ing idiots and f—ing incompetent” which is far worse than anything vile she slings at me and my sweet wife and 15 year old. Time to send her back to Waffle House although my good friend Joe Rogers, owner of Waffle House, may not take her back. Then you have her pal Norman slinging similar dirt couched in code like “not from here” and making so many false accusations that we had to send him a cease and desist. I recognize that many of you are offended by this filth in our so called leaders. Any wonder that they got us in this mess? I will only say what my pastor said, "feel God’s grace so you can show grace toward others." I will not play this game of appealing to the worst in humanity. I will, however, continue to focus on exposing their public record. My 15 year old is not quite as resilient but this has been a learning experience. I will end by sharing what a friend sent me and I shared with my family; “The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil”. Thats our fight. Rom Reddy

Spoke with governor candidate @RomReddySC earlier regarding a blitz of nativist -- some say racist -- attacks against him in recent days. The attacks argue Reddy -- an Indian-born immigrant and U.S. citizen for decades -- is not qualified simply because of his ethnicity.

This is a once in a generation opportunity to elect a candidate that isn't taking a dime from donors. It's time for something different.

We'd love to see you in Greenville TODAY at Social Latitude!

This is now a two-tier race. Pam, Alan, and I are in the top tier, and Nancy and Ralph are in the bottom tier. Ralph and Nancy have no path to victory. Their campaigns are over. You have a clear choice between two insiders and an outsider. If you vote for me, I will beat the insiders. Any other vote sends insiders Pam and Alan to a runoff together, and you will have an insider versus an insider. Don't waste your vote. It's time to take our government back from the insiders and career politicians.

Mr. Norman, this is a direct appeal to you to stop the gutter politics you are indulging in against me and my family and raise the conversation to talk about policy issues that matter to the citizens. Pulling someone down by smearing them and their family to raise yourself up is not only wrong but very un Christian. I will only respond to these rash of personal attacks once on social media; You claim I donated to "woke" museums in New York. We have never donated to museums in New York woke or not. Our foundation is set up for education and fighting child trafficking. The only museum we have ever donated to is the Ronald Reagan museum. You claim I am from New York and moved to S.C. to build a beach mansion and an illegal wall. I am not from New York and have never lived there other than visiting the city. I lived in Summerville SC in 1990 when I bought my first manufacturing business and built it into the second largest manufacturer in SC employing 600 people; I started my second manufacturing business in Goose Creek SC in 2008 and moved the HQ of a third business I bought from GA to S.C. and built it into the third largest artificial turf manufacturer in the USA. My foundation also funded educational issues including a major project in Edgefield school district right now as well as anti child trafficking efforts. I believe if your property is registered in your name and you pay taxes on it, Government cannot step in and claim it. They have to buy it (5th amendment). I fought the agencies on this principle and prevailed. I did not block any access as you falsely claim and both my immediate neighbors have ReddyforGov signs. I will fight for the property rights of every S.C. citizen. Sounds like you will take the side of government like you did with the poor citizens of Silfab. You called me a fraud multiple times including in anonymous texts and in your tv ads. You then called my wife a fraud at the post debate event which my 15 year old watched on film. Shame on you. I cannot be a fraud with my own money. I did not "erase" my past as you claimed. Prior to DOGESC I never had a social media account of any kind not even Linked in. Actually I had a BlackBerry until 2.5 years ago - Last man standing! I also had a stellar 4 decade business career with zero scandals, zero bankruptcies and 2 Presidential visits and commendations. How dare you demean my career with zero facts. You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts. You claim I started DOGESC to run for Governor and raise money. DOGESC was 99.6 percent self funded by me. We developed forensic audit tools, got judicial reform passed in the House and set up an inter state DOGE group. What right do you and others have to tell me what I do with my own money? Unlike you folks who take dark money from PAC's and donations, I do not take any one else's money. Let the people decide who the fraud is. You and your people now claim I got rich from government contracts in SC. I have never had and do not have a single government contract. Don't your accusations have to somewhat be connected to a shred of truth. We made money the hard way in the toughest sector - American manufacturing. You say you are a CEO and I am "tech support." Is that some kind of racial jab that references one half my heritage? If so, shame on you again. I have been a CEO and chairman of multiple very successful entities in my career. You have been a career politician for 20 plus years. Your last CEO job in real estate development was in the early 2000's?? That is like showing up at an Apple tech conference and saying "see how good my satellite phone is". Your skills are obsolete. The tools and techniques to manage today bear no resemblance to 25 years ago. You attack me for donating to other Republicans. Not only did I donate 1k to 2k to the Speaker, I did so to multiple other Republicans as I don't believe in dividing Republicans and calling them names. You say I donated to Lindsey. Yes, I did but my last donation was 1k in 2006 before I knew he was not my guy. You left out my biggest donation was to President Trump in 2024 when you endorsed Nikki Haley for President. Remember that because you never talk about that. I have not attacked you or your family personally other than pointing out your public record. You misunderstood my comment about Silfab land. I have no reason to believe that you own the land Silfab sits on. I intended to say that Silfab sits on land surrounded by land owned or managed by your family. If you think I implied otherwise, my apologies. In the closing days, let us address the issues important to the citizens of this state and stop these personal attacks against me and my family. You will be the bigger man for it. Thank you. Rom Reddy

Today Senator Josh Kimbrell endorsed AG Alan Wilson. All these South Carolina politicians endorsing each other is funny. What’s next? Last place Nancy stops spewing her filth and division and endorses 20 year career politician Norman so they can double down on the nastiness and lies? All you career politicians go ahead and close ranks. The voiceless South Carolinian knows that only Rom Reddy, who has never been in politics and does not take any campaign donations, has the back of the common citizen. Ready for Reddy and something different.
