Henry McMaster in Ballotpedia.org political website

On Principles & Values: 1986 Senate run; 2002 elected AG; 2010 Gubernatorial run

McMaster received the Republican nomination in 1986 in his campaign for the United States Senate; he was ultimately defeated by Democratic incumbent Senator Fritz Hollings. Four years later, he lost his bid for lieutenant governor. In 1991, however, McMaster was nominated by then-Governor Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. to serve on the Commission on Higher Education; he was later confirmed by the South Carolina State Legislature.

Prior to his tenure as lieutenant governor, McMaster served two terms as attorney general of South Carolina. He was first elected to the position in 2002 and won re-election in 2006. Though he was eligible to run for a third term, he instead announced his candidacy for the state's 2010 gubernatorial election. He was defeated in the June 8 Republican primary and endorsed one of his opponents, then-state Rep. Nikki Haley, for the governorship
