The Charleston Defense Contractors Association (CDCA) endorsed Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) for his reelection on November 8th: 

“Since the CDCA’s inception, our motto has been to advocate, protect and preserve,” said Joshua Hatter, Vice President, PR Chair, CDCA and senior manager of marketing and business development for General Dynamics Information Technology. “These individual candidates all have a focus on programs and initiatives that will continue to help position the region as a strategic market for defense industry spending, contracts, talent and growth.”  

“I am grateful to receive the support of the Charleston Defense Contractor’s Association as a native of Charleston,” Congressman Wilson said. “Each of the companies in the Charleston Defense Contractors Association create jobs and improve the vocational infrastructure in our community. A rising tide lifts all boats—strong job growth in Charleston is good for South Carolina and is good for contractors and subcontractors in the Second Congressional District.”

From the Charleston Defense Contractors Association: 

“Congressman Wilson holds key positions that have a significant impact in this community. Wilson is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, which focuses on Cyber Defense. This area of defense and technology is a cornerstone of the work performed by SSC Atlantic and supporting Industry Partners. He is also Chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel and a member of various committees and subcommittees focused on the defense industry.”
