“As the S.C. State Representative for Sullivan’s Island, it has been an honor to work with Mayor Pat O’Neil. He is a tireless advocate for the residents and can always be counted on to give well-thought-out and reasoned advice. He should absolutely continue as mayor. “
- S.C. State Representative Joe Bustos
"I have great respect for Mayor O'Neil and his statesman's approach to tackling regional issues such as beach traffic management, emergency response, and resilience. At the state level, he is a powerful voice for protecting the character of our communities from influences that want to exploit them."
- Mayor Will Haynie, Town of Mount Pleasant
“Pat has been a great partner, whether it is emergency coordination or traffic control efforts with IOP and Mt. Pleasant, or just increased collaboration and communication, dealing with solutions to our joint initiatives. We have been in constant communication with each other as some unfortunate events have occurred in either of our communities to ensure we are supporting each other in the best way possible. Pat is always willing and able to do whatever is in the best interest of his community and the broader Lowcountry.”
-Mayor Phillip Pounds, City of Isle of Palms
“As Mayor of the City of Folly Beach and Founder and former Chairperson of the South Carolina Beach Advocates Association, it is a great pleasure to endorse Pat O’Neil for Mayor of Sullivans Island. My experience working with Pat over the past 10 years, both professionally and in the political arena, has witnessed his ability to work cooperatively with other politicians around the state to advance Sullivan’s Island’s position on different issues. I have witnessed Pat’s ability to be a team member as well as a leader. It is my good fortune to endorse Pat as the best candidate to lead the Town of Sullivans Island into the future.”
-Mayor Tim Goodwin, City of Folly Beach
