Working alongside Landing on Mount Pleasant Town Council, O’Rourke highlighted Landing’s diplomacy and professionalism.

Accepting the endorsements, Landing is proud to be the “Lowcountry’s Conservative.”
“I am humbled and honored to be the ‘Lowcountry’s Conservative for Congress,’ as evidenced by the endorsements of these incredible leaders across South Carolina’s First Congressional District. I proudly admit that I’m not the favored candidate of the Washington special interests but rather that I am the trusted, business-minded conservative unifying Republicans in our district to beat Joe Cunningham. I thank these Lowcountry leaders for their trust and support, and I look forward to being the voice of South Carolina’s First District in Congress.”
