Henry McMaster

What strikes me about Henry McMaster is how thoroughly he is a creature of South Carolina. Born in Columbia, schooled at the state's own law school, he climbed methodically from prosecutor to attorney general to lieutenant governor before finally inheriting the top job in 2017. There is nothing flashy here, and I find that quietly compelling. He represents a vanishing type: the local lifer who knows every county road and courthouse. Whether you share his politics or not, his career is a study in patience and institutional endurance, and I respect the sheer durability of a man still leading well past the age most people retire.
