COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) -

“Tonight my family and I are profoundly humbled to have won the support of voters in District 79 to represent them in the South Carolina House of Representatives,” Grant said after being the projected winner.

Tonight you have trusted me to be your voice. You have my word that I will work every day to be worthy of that trust."

In February, Grant announced his campaign saying:

I’m running to represent the residents of SC House District 79. As a proud South Carolinian, who grew up in the district, now living and raising my family in the district, I see the need to serve my district. House District 79 is a model of progress that makes our great state proud. Like you, I want our children to have access to every resource available that will not only contribute to their success but will return that investment back to our state.I want our working adults to know they have a Representative working to keep more money in their pockets all year long. I want to be able to drive down Hardscrabble in fifteen minutes with very little bumps along the way. I want us to continue to be a premier location to work, play, and live in South Carolina. I look forward to engaging with you in this campaign and I pray I can earn your trust, respect, and vote on June 11, 2024! - Hamilton Grant

Campaign officials said Grant is passionate about quality education, economic growth and creating strategic alliances in the community.

Grant is the president of “Grant Business Advisors,” a Columbia finance and strategy firm. He’s also a member of the South Carolina State University board of trustees.
