Alan Wilson Biography

Alan Wilson is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on July 16, 1973 in West Columbia, West Columbia, United States. Alan McCrory Wilson (born July 16, 1973) is an American lawyer and politician, currently serving his third term as the 51st Attorney General of South Carolina. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Wilson served as an intern in the Attorney General’s office under Charlie Condon. After law school, he worked for Judge Marc H. Westbrook of the South Carolina Circuit Court. Wilson later served as an Assistant Solicitor and as an Assistant Attorney General. In 2009, he moved to the private sector and started working at the law firm Willoughby & Hoefer in Columbia, South Carolina.

On January 12, 2012, Wilson falsely claimed on Fox News that “We found out that there were over 900 people who died and then subsequently voted. That number could be even higher than that.” The Washington Post investigated this and similar claims, finding that the “State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) conducted an extensive probe, which was completed May 11, 2012. But the final report was just made public this month after a 13-month review by Wilson’s office” and concluding that Wilson “hyped these charges into certified “facts”, even before any real investigation had taken place. Indeed, the minuscule percentage of alleged dead votes, out of the number cast, should have urged caution. Instead, he went straight to the television cameras—and then his office for months bottled up the report that revealed not a single claim was true.” The Washington Post awarded Wilson’s claim “Four Pinocchios.”

In 2013, Wilson self-reported his campaign failed to report least 84 contributions and expenditures on required public reports. In February 2013, Wilson originally admitted his campaign failed to disclose and report receiving at least 15 separate contributions of unknown amounts. A further investigation completed in March 2013 revealed at least 68 unreported contributions and 16 unreported expenditures. As the errors were self reported and the reports were subsequently re-filed, Wilson faced no penalties.

Wilson graduated from Francis Marion University with a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1996, and received a J.D. from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2002.
