Oconee Runs
On Duncan

Coach. Conservative. One of us.
A new voice fighting for Oconee in Columbia.

Representative Adam Duncan
Lifelong Oconee Native

Our Representative

In June 2024, a coach and political outsider did what no one thought possible — retiring a 29-year incumbent by just 62 votes. It wasn't money or machine politics that won it. It was Oconee deciding it was time for a new voice. And Duncan delivered immediate results.

About Adam

From the mat to the State House

Adam Duncan grew up here, wrestled here, and has spent his life coaching Oconee's young people. He went to Columbia to do one thing: fight for the people of District 2 — not the special interests.

A graduate of West-Oak High School, Adam was part of the school's first state championship team and earned the Dave Schultz Excellence Award for the state and southeast region, recognizing wrestling success, scholastic achievement, and citizenship. He went on to wrestle at the Division I level at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Adam has poured his time and talent into young people through JET Wrestling and West-Oak wrestling, helping bring home ten state championships for Oconee County. More than the trophies, he's taught young men the value of hard work, discipline, and toughness. In 2026, he was inducted into the West-Oak High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

He was raised with that same work ethic. His father gave 43 years of service to Blue Ridge Electric; his mother was a small business owner. With two brothers in law enforcement, Adam is a fierce supporter of the men and women in blue. He supports local small business — not corporate lobbyists — and the conservative values Oconee families live by.

Where I Stand

Conservative values. Oconee first.

01

Small business, not corporate lobbyists

Oconee was built by families who work for what they have. Adam fights for Main Street job creators and farmers — not the well-connected lobbyists who've run Columbia for too long.

02

Back the blue

With two brothers in law enforcement, this is personal. Adam stands with the men and women who keep our communities safe and supports the tools they need to do the job.

03

Lower taxes, less red tape

Government should get out of the way of working families and small business. Adam supports cutting taxes, cutting waste, and keeping more of your money where it belongs — with you.

04

Protect kids and families

As a coach and educator, Adam champions safer schools, stronger parental rights, and protecting children — online and in the classroom — across South Carolina.

“I'm honored and humbled that the people of Oconee County sent me to Columbia. I go to work every day remembering who sent me.

The Record · 2025 Session

Promises made.
Promises kept.

Adam joined a House Republican majority that worked late into the night to get conservative wins across the finish line and onto the Governor's desk — protecting children, backing law enforcement, strengthening schools, fixing roads, and cutting red tape.
