Pamela Evette has been subject to several controversies during her tenure as lieutenant governor and 2026 gubernatorial campaign. In 2026, reports revealed her campaign paid tens of thousands of dollars to the polling firm Co/efficient shortly before the firm released polls showing her leading the gubernatorial field, while simultaneously labeling the results as non-sponsored. In 2026, her campaign faced criticism for listing two registered lobbyists as contributors, which violates South Carolina law, and for discrepancies in reporting their occupations as retired. Additionally, an IRS complaint was filed against a political action committee supporting her, alleging it failed to file required donor disclosures. Separately, documents surfaced in 2025 detailing that her husband, David Evette, admitted to diverting funds from his former business, Priority One Services, in 2000, which he characterized as a resolved loan dispute.
