This photo captures a powerful moment at the Citadel after Carlton Walker delivered an inspiring 30-minute speech about his vision as your representative and the future of South Carolina. His words struck a chord, igniting the passionate support of these cadets for his campaign for the South Carolina State House. To the right of the podium stands Carlton's father, a proud Citadel graduate from the Class of 1969.
Let's continue to work towards 0% income taxes for South Carolina with SC HOUSE Ways and Means Chairman Bruce Banister. Carlton Walker and Bruce Banister both sold Cutco Cutlery in college. THEY ARE TWO SHARP GUYS per their Cutco manager! Do you remember Carlton selling knives on James Island, Johns Island, Folly Beach, Kiawah and SeaBrook? Can you believe the man who does our budget in Columbia sold Cutco too? Do you think this special bond between Carlton and Bruce will help us get things we need done for our 5 islands District 115! Absolutely!
It is time we put Carlton Walker in so he can LOWER OUR TAXES and BRING OUR TAX MONEY BACK TO DISTRICT 115 IN THIS SUPERMAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS!

What is Justice? Whoever is in power.
A prominent philosopher, Thrasymachus, once stated that those in power determine what is justice. Well, look around — do you believe our justice system reflects fairness, accountability, and equity for everyday South Carolinians?
Carlton does not. That’s why he is running. It’s time to shift that power away from the self-serving political class and back to the people. It’s time to elect leaders with a proven commitment to standing up for the working class, for families, for the values that built this state.
If we’re serious about transforming our broken judicial system, we can’t settle for more of the same. We deserve better. We deserve a system that works for everyone — not just the connected, not just the powerful.
This is our moment. Our opportunity to demand real justice, real accountability, and a government that serves the people — all of the people.
Let’s make that change. Together.
uss wasp Somalia - 1993
Carlton has a remarkable background having served under General Colin Powell in Somalia as an Aviation Boatswain's Mate Blue Shirt for the Navy. He worked on the Flight Deck and Hanger Bay, which is considered the second most dangerous job in the Navy.
THE AVIATION BOATSWAIN’S MATE INSIGNIA
Our insignia, bearing crossed anchors with wings, has stood for gallantry, productivity, and dedication for nearly fifty years. Many excellent AB’s have given their limbs and in too many cases their lives, performing the feats of the flight deck. Lets break the insignia down and put it into the right perspective for you. The anchor is a heavy device used to secure a sea-going vessel or boat to a specific spot in a body of water. A single well-trained AB is an anchor. They secure their watch stations, whether it be securing aircraft on deck, fueling and defueling aircraft, directing aircraft around the deck, salvaging damaged aircraft, making aircraft settings on the arresting gear engine, or hooking up and launching aircraft off our catapults. Our insignia has two anchors. This signifies that we can’t do our jobs alone. We must rely on each other and combine our knowledge and talents to fulfill our role on every flight and hangar deck. Just like a symphony orchestra in an amphitheater, we perform the marvelous spectacle of carrier air operations. We see each other at our worst and our best and we assist each other through the rough and dangerous times that are always present. We teach each other, we test each other and though it is never stated, we love and respect each other deeply. Like the identical crossed anchors, our souls are bonded in friendship forever. Then there are the wings. To put wings on a set of anchors in itself is superfluous. In retrospect, it would take very powerful wings and a strong back to support them in flight. AB’s have the strong backs and the determination to get the job done no matter what the sacrifice. Unfortunately, those sacrifices are many and I would hope that they don’t go unrewarded. Remember the old fable about whenever a bell chimes, an angel gets its wings? Well, whenever you hear the ship’s bell sound, more AB’s have sacrificed their time and used their professionalism to earn their wings. Our wings should signify that we have earned and secured our place in heaven.
USS Wasp - Somalia 1993
During his time, Carlton was part of a flight deck team that had to recover a Marine helicopter that was shot down during the Somalia mission in 1993. Along with another Airedale, Carlton was chosen by his Chief to recover the destroyed H-46 back on deck while his Chief directed the H-53 carrying the destroyed aircraft.
Recently a US Marine F35 Pilot from Beaufort SC told Carlton that this incident is now a training video.
Carlton's bravery and dedication to his country are a testament to his character and leadership skills. These qualities will be valuable in his new role as the SC State House Representative for District 115.
Carlton lives by the motto, "Don't tell me how ROCKY the SEA is, just BRING THE DAMN SHIP IN!" He will use this same attitude to make sure District 115 always gets what it needs from our state government.
Carlton encounters a disabled veteran working at the James Island Lowe's, someone he served alongside on the USS Wasp during the Somalia mission in 1993. Seeing his shipmate brings back a flood of memories, and Carlton feels a deep sense of camaraderie and respect for the challenges this veteran has faced. Their shared experiences create a bond that transcends time, reminding him of the sacrifices they both made.
Carlton reconnected with a shipmate from USS WASP LHD 1, with whom he served in Somalia in 1993. His shipmate now works at Lowes on James Island. Carlton is frustrated that they risked their lives and made sacrifices for South Carolina and the United States, while the family court system in South Carolina and the U.S. does not follow the US Constitution of the 6th, 7th and 14th Amendments that they fought to protect.
At one year old, Carlton started roofing in Deer Park Trailer Court with his Grandfather who owned a trailer park.
Carlton is maintaining homes in his 20s after serving in the Navy in this picture.
