                                            Generate a realistic image of Mark Hammond, a middle-aged American man with a professional and approachable demeanor, wearing a suit and standing in front of a subtle background that hints at his connection to South Carolina, possibly with a faint outline of the state's capitol building or a similar landmark; he should be smiling slightly, conveying a sense of friendly authority, and his facial features should reflect his age and experience as a seasoned politician.
