FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 28, 2026 Veterans for America First Endorses South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson for Governor SOUTH CAROLINA — Veterans for America First (VFAF), also known as Veterans for Trump, proudly announces its endorsement of South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson for Governor.
The endorsement was announced by VFAF National President Robert Cornicelli, who praised Wilson's military service, leadership, commitment to constitutional principles, and dedication to protecting South Carolina families and veterans. Wilson, a combat veteran who served in Iraq, has risen to the rank of Colonel in the South Carolina National Guard and is anticipated to receive a promotion to Brigadier General.
His military career reflects decades of leadership, discipline, and service to the nation. As South Carolina's Attorney General, Wilson has built a record of defending constitutional freedoms, supporting law enforcement, protecting families, and advocating for public safety. "Alan Wilson is more than a public servant. He is a combat veteran, a military leader, and a man who understands the meaning of service, sacrifice, and commitment to our country," stated Cornicelli. Cornicelli, who works directly with veterans facing homelessness, eviction, unemployment, and other serious challenges, emphasized the importance of electing leaders who recognize the continuing needs of America's military veterans and their families. "Far too many veterans who proudly served our nation are now struggling to keep a roof over their heads, provide for their families, or find meaningful employment. We need leadership that recognizes these challenges and is willing to bring government, communities, and organizations together to create real solutions," Cornicelli said.
"I believe Alan Wilson understands that our responsibility to those who served does not end when they take off the uniform. It is a lifelong commitment, and one that must be reflected in the priorities of our state government." Cornicelli concluded, "South Carolina needs a Governor who knows how to lead, understands sacrifice, and puts service above politics. Alan Wilson has spent his life demonstrating those qualities. I am proud to stand with Alan Wilson and offer my full endorsement for Governor of the great state of South Carolina."
