"Another significant impact in our clerk's office was in 2023, when we had to manage one of the biggest trials in South Carolina history. Our small town came together and made everyone proud," Hill said during a Monday press conference. "Managing a trial with such importance to the people of South Carolina, as well as to the national and international media interest and public scrutiny, has caused me to reflect upon decisions involving my stay in the office of the clerk of court."
Hill, who held the position of court clerk for about four years, said her decision not to seek re-election in 2024 will allow her to "focus on being a wife, a mother and a grandmother." She added that she wants to provide "ample time to other Republican candidates" interested in the position of Colleton County Court Clerk.
