About Pamela
Pamela Evette is the 93rd Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina and serves with Governor Henry McMaster as the first female Republican Lieutenant Governor in the state’s history.
As Lt. Governor, Evette proudly stood with President Trump, championing his America First agenda to slash red tape and harmful regulations, secure our borders to make America safe again, crack down on violent crime in our streets, and unleash American energy to decrease costs for South Carolinians.
An entrepreneur and self-made businesswoman, Evette founded Quality Business Solutions, a payroll, HR, and benefits services firm headquartered in Travelers Rest. Under her leadership, QBS grew from a start-up to a national company in less than 20 years.
Evette has worked tirelessly to highlight and enhance South Carolina’s thriving small business ecosystem, attract new business to the Palmetto State, and make South Carolina the small business capital of the United States.
A staunch promoter of innovative public-private partnerships, she has also worked to bring awareness to South Carolina non-profits and the impact they have in our local communities. Her mission is clear: South Carolina will be the best state to own a business and raise a family.
As Lieutenant Governor, Evette has been a key ally in President Trump’s mission to secure our borders and prevent the entry of violent criminals. Alongside Governor McMaster, she has worked closely with federal authorities to ensure that South Carolina is safe from invasion.
Under their guidance, we’ve seen significant results in our state’s defense against illegal immigration; they’ve empowered and unfailingly supported law enforcement to successfully combat the influx of fentanyl, crime, and human trafficking. Illegal immigration has no place in the Palmetto State, and Lieutenant Governor Evette will continue working closely with President Trump to make sure of it.
Evette is the granddaughter of Polish immigrants. Her parents, Jennie and Emil Gajoch, were second-generation Americans who taught her the value of hard work and the importance of getting involved and giving back.
Evette holds a Bachelor’s of Business Administration in accounting from Cleveland State University. A resident of Travelers Rest, S.C., Evette enjoys spending time with her husband, David, their three children, and her mother, Jennie, who lives with them.
Pamela is now ready to continue the conservative legacy she helped build, protect what makes South Carolina great, and fight for our future with the same grit, grace, and conviction that has guided her every step of the way.
