Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Alan Wilson advocates eliminating South Carolina’s state income tax and cutting what he describes as wasteful spending; he frames the tax change as relief for working people and a way to boost the state’s competitiveness. He also emphasizes reducing government waste and shrinking government influence as part of his fiscal agenda.
Healthcare
The candidate has repeatedly litigated against and sought to restrict elements of the Affordable Care Act, opposed expansion of taxpayer‑funded coverage for undocumented immigrants, and defended limits on federally mandated health‑insurance coverage (such as abortion coverage) on religious‑liberty grounds. These actions indicate support for rolling back ACA provisions and limiting federal expansion of healthcare benefits.

Immigration & Border
Supports strict enforcement-first immigration policies, including opposing pathways to citizenship and backing limits on birthright citizenship; has joined or led multi-state lawsuits and briefs to block federal immigration relief programs and to support state authority to criminalize illegal entry. Advocates expanding state power to enforce immigration laws when federal enforcement is viewed as insufficient.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports strict abortion limits and has defended South Carolina laws banning most abortions at about six weeks; he has joined legal efforts seeking to overturn federal protections for abortion.
Climate & Energy
Opposes expanded federal greenhouse-gas reporting and supports keeping coal-fired power plants open to limit energy costs and preserve reliability; favors limiting EPA regulatory authority on energy issues. The candidate emphasizes affordable electricity and resisting what he describes as government overreach in environmental regulation.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate opposes new gun restrictions and has taken legal action against state-level laws that impose ammunition background checks and limits on public carry in designated “sensitive places.” He emphasizes support for law enforcement and a law-and-order approach to public safety.
