Issue Position: Protecting Religious Freedoms

Issue Position

Religious freedom is the cornerstone of our nation and an America that does not let people exercise their freedom of religion isn't truly free. Every South Carolinian has the right to practice their faith without fear of persecution and I will always preserve and protect the rights afforded to us by the First Amendment.

As governor, I issued an Executive Order to ensure religious freedom is being protected, directing state agencies to review their policies and procedures to make sure our state is recognizing the constitutionally-protected freedoms of faith-based organizations.
