Laurens County Sheriff Don Reynolds endorses Rick Shealy for SC House District 14
October 28, 2026
Laurens County Sheriff Don Reynolds has endorsed Rick Shealy, the Republican nominee for South Carolina House District 14, in the Nov. 3 general election.
Reynolds has served as sheriff of Laurens County since 2017 and leads the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office, which provides law enforcement across the county, operates the county detention center and provides security for the county courts.
“Our deputies put their lives on the line every day to protect the people of Laurens County, and they need leaders in Columbia who will stand behind them,” Reynolds said. “Rick Shealy has made support for law enforcement a cornerstone of his campaign, and I know he will be a strong voice for public safety in the State House. I am proud to give him my support.”
Shealy, an eighth-generation South Carolinian, farmer and business owner, won the Republican primary for House District 14 in June. His campaign has centered on supporting law enforcement, protecting private property rights and giving the people of District 14 an independent voice in Columbia.
“Sheriff Reynolds and the men and women of the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office work hard every day to keep our families and neighborhoods safe,” Shealy said. “I am honored to have his endorsement, and I will make sure our law enforcement officers have the support and resources they need to do their jobs.”
Reynolds joins a growing list of Shealy supporters that includes state Sen. Danny Verdin; former District 14 Rep. Stewart Jones; David Stumbo, solicitor for South Carolina’s 8th Judicial Circuit and Republican nominee for attorney general; and the Greenwood Association of Realtors.
