David Stumbo, the Eighth Circuit Solicitor and 2026 Republican nominee for South Carolina Attorney General, is currently the subject of an investigation by the South Carolina State Ethics Commission.
The investigation concerns allegations that between September 2022 and July 2025, Stumbo improperly paid himself $36,700 in office funds, categorized as a mileage allowance. Complaints allege these were fixed monthly payments of $950 or $1,100 rather than legitimate reimbursements for documented travel. Stumbo denies wrongdoing, characterizing the complaint as a politically motivated attack and asserting that the payments were a transparent, cost-saving alternative to purchasing a new office vehicle.
