In commenting upon this action. South Carolina Libertarian Party State Chair Victor Kocher said:

The fact that Governor Johnson brings to the table his executive-level experience and a proven record of fiscal responsibility and that he left his term-limited post in New Mexico with a balanced budget and a $1 billion budget surplus, I believe that he would be the best candidate to represent the Libertarian Party on a national level.

The South Carolina Libertarian Executive Committee is the second Libertarian Party State Committee to endorse Gary Johnson for the Libertarian Party's Presidential Nomination. The first was the Nebraska Libertarian Party's Central Committee. The first Libertarian Party organization to endorse Gary Johnson was the Libertarian Party of Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
