A house RESOLUTION

to recognize and commend the honorable Elizabeth

Representatives on behalf of her constituents and the citizens of South 
Carolina and to wish her much success and happiness in all her future endeavors.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives learned with sincere regret that Spencer 
Wetmore will depart from the House of Representatives at the conclusion of her 
current term; and

Whereas, born on April 
22, 1983, in Charleston, Spencer is the daughter of Kell Brunson Compton and 
Melinda Lucka Kelley. She graduated from Princeton University with an artium 
baccalaureus in 2005 and in 2010, she earned a Juris Doctor degree from the Vanderbilt 
University School of Law; and

Whereas, she served as the 
assistant solicitor in Charleston County from 2010 to 2014 and the city administrator 
of Folly Beach from 2014 to 2020. She also served as a member of the Tourism 
Expenditure Review Committee from 2018 to 2020; and

Whereas, Spencer 
married her beloved husband Burns Malone Wetmore on May 3, 2014, and together 
they are rearing two beautiful daughters, Brooks and Lola Kate. When away from 
her duties in the House of Representatives, she lives with her family in Folly 
Beach and serves as an attorney at Wetmore Law Firm; and 

Whereas, Representative 
Wetmore has faithfully served the citizens of Charleston County's District 115 in 
the House of Representatives since winning a special election on August 11, 2020. 
In the House, she served on the Judiciary Committee and Rules Committee; and 

Whereas, the members of 
the House of Representatives will miss the keen and impassioned service that Spencer 
Wetmore, their friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives, 
and hope that she will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Elizabeth Spencer 
Wetmore of Charleston County for her dedicated service in the House of 
Representatives on behalf of her constituents and the citizens of South 
Carolina and wish her much success and happiness in all her future endeavors.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Elizabeth Spencer 
Wetmore.
