“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. “
- Joe Bustos, State Representative for Sullivan's Island
“Pat O’Neil has been a strong voice for the environment on both a local and statewide basis. He gave powerful testimony in the South Carolina Senate in support of my bill that stopped offshore drilling and seismic testing off South Carolina’s coast. Pat is an effective advocate for the Island in matters where I can assist, and never hesitates to ask for that assistance."
- South Carolina Senator (for Sullivan’s Island) Chip Campsen
“Mayor O’Neil’s leadership helped save our Maritime Forest and has kept our Island a wonderful place to live.”
- Larry Kobrovsky, Charleston County Councilman for Sullivan’s Island
“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
"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
