Whereas, before working for Congress, Mr. Gault was appointed by Governor Mark Sanford in 2009 as Clerk of Court for Union County. He ran successfully for the position in 2012, remaining County Court Clerk until tapped by Congressman Mulvaney as his Congressional Liaison; and

Whereas, prior to being appointed Clerk of Court, Mr. Gault worked in law enforcement for twenty-seven years, retiring as Captain of Investigations with the Union Public Safety Department. His tenure included ten years in narcotics where, as a case agent with the Federal Task Force, he helped prosecute numerous cases of drugs, firearms, and violent crimes in the Upstate; and

Whereas, Mr. Gault has been very active over the years working with community organizations. He currently is serving a second term on the Union County YMCA Board of Directors, where he is a past chairman. Additionally, he is the past chairman for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Association 16th Judicial Circuit, has served as chairman of Union County High School, Sims Middle School, Foster Park Elementary School, school improvement councils, and as president of the Foster Park Elementary School PTA. His more than twenty years of experience as a Boy Scout leader includes serving as chairman of the Union County District and as a member of the Palmetto Council Executive Board.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the years of commitment Mr. Gault has shown and wish him continued success throughout his lifetime. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
