Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement after President-elect Donald Trump announced his selection of Rex Tillerson to serve as Secretary of State:

“President-elect Donald Trump has proposed another capable choice by selecting Rex Tillerson to serve as Secretary of State. As one of America’s most successful business leaders promoting job creation and energy independence, I am confident that Mr. Tillerson will achieve a positive difference for American families.
