McCain adds several South Carolina sheriffs to PAC
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John McCain added 11 South Carolina county sheriffs to his political action committee Tuesday, the latest in the Arizona Republican's ongoing effort to build support in the Palmetto state ahead of a potential presidential run.

The 11 sheriffs, representing a majority of the GOP sheriffs in South Carolina, will form a "Law Enforcement Advisory Committee" to assist McCain's efforts in the southern state.

"These eleven sheriffs are recognized as highly respected leaders," McCain said in a statement. "By protecting the lives, safety and security of South Carolina's citizens, they honor the highest and most noble calling of public service. I am truly humbled to have their support and advice."
