About Rob

Rob Harris is a:

  • Family Man: Husband, father, and grandfather

  • Medical Professional: Operating room RN, not a lawyer or career politician

  • Conservative Leader: A fighter working diligently to advance conservative ideas

  • Courageous Voice: Beholden to the people, not special interests

In the 37 years he and his wife Janice have been married, they’ve come to appreciate the simple values of watching their children grow, welcoming friends for fellowship around the table, as well as ordinary pastimes like small-scale farming, shooting sports, and music.

Having worked as a registered nurse for 27 years, Rob has seen first-hand that life is precious and that we cannot measure it in years alone, but in how we impact those around us. Every day, Rob’s work is guided by a concept called “best practice,” where he and his team must constantly re-evaluate care based on what produces the best outcomes for the patient.

If a treatment is working, that is good. But, if another technique is more effective, they then adapt and keep trying to improve things. It is that spirit of innovation, problem solving, and care that Rob brings to his job as our District 36 representative.

Too often, the laws the politicians pass do NOT represent the “best practice.” Rob is working to change that and he will continue to champion what is best for us so we don’t have to settle for less.

That’s why Rob and Janice chose to settle here in Wellford. Here in our community, family values are still respected, and you can depend on your neighbors. They realized that it was a perfect fit for their friendly and outgoing family.

As a medical professional, Rob isn’t the sort to stand by while things go wrong. In the last few years, when he saw some of the dangerous trends facing South Carolina, he went to work.

He accepted a position as Republican Precinct Executive Committeeman and started a conservative organization, ActionSC.org, to help citizens have a positive impact on our community’s decisions.

Right now there is an opportunity for us to make positive changes in state government and reform the system to work better for all of us. We can get our roads fixed, fix our broken judicial system, and end abortion. The opposition is great - you have no doubt seen the garbage politics being employed in our community by the Columbia establishment.

That’s why it’s so important that we still have Rob Harris as our Representative in Columbia.

Rob Harris is our conservative champion in the State House. Let’s keep it that way.

  • I’ve watched as our country has turned its back on God over the years, and though I’ve tried to navigate the pitfalls for myself and for my family, I feel that the season of freedom we have enjoyed may be drawing to a close.

    I believe it is my duty as a Christian to engage the political system in order to preserve our God-given, inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

    Over the years, I’ve been moderately active in politics, but after what happened in the 2020 election, I realized that the time to act is now!

    Abortion is still legal in our state. This is to your great shame. It’s time to end this. I am the only candidate in this race that will actually fight to completely end baby murder in our state.

  • I’ve been married to the same wonderful woman for 37 years. We have been blessed to have a wonderful family of hard-working and creative children.

    Like many of you, I’m concerned for future generations. Even my own children see the changes occurring in our world. They often work right alongside me, helping me where they can - fighting to preserve freedom for their own generation. Janice and I want all of our children to be able to experience the same opportunities that we had growing up.

  • With a Republican majority in both legislative bodies and a Republican governor, South Carolina ought to have one of the most conservative governments in America.

    But we don’t.

    In fact, it is the most liberal of the Republican-majority states.

    I am working to change that.

    It’s time to stand up, take heart, and fight with clarity and courage. While others sit by quietly, I will demand real reform to fix our roads, end abortion, support better education outcomes, and defend your liberties.

    I believe that with an increasing number of conservative allies, we can see meaningful change that positively affects the lives of the people of the 36th District.

    The Upstate is one of the best places to raise a family and live the American dream. I want to help ensure that expectation for the future and protect our way of life.
