Following the death of Graham, we now must choose a nominee, via a Special Republican Primary, held pursuant to S.C. Code of Laws Section 7-11-55. This election will decide who is the next candidate to carry the Republican banner into the November 3, 2026 General Election.

Whether you're considering running for office, volunteering, or casting your ballot, your participation is critical as we work to keep this U.S. Senate seat in Republican hands and continue fighting for the conservative values that make South Carolina strong.

RUNOFF ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY JUNE 23RD - GO VOTE!!!

As Patriots, we love our country and deeply care about the future of our great Palmetto State. Proverbs 22:29 offers a timely reminder of what truly matters this election season: “Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people”

True leadership is not about the loudest voice, empty promises, or political games, it is about competence, integrity, and selfless service.

We seek leaders who communicate clearly and honestly with the people they serve. Leaders who demonstrate a genuine willingness to serve every South Carolinian - not just special interests or party insiders. Leaders who prioritize doing what is right for our state over political ambition, and who embrace transparency so citizens can see how decisions are made and where their tax dollars go.

"Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people" - Proverbs 22:29

GET RID OF THIS EMBARRASSMENT ON PRIMARY VOTING DAY - JUNE 9TH - MAKE LINDSEY BE GONE!!!! - NO MORE LINDSEY!!!

REMEMBER THIS AT THE VOTING BOOTH! - HE HAS ALREADY STABBED US IN THE BACK!!!

Lindsey Graham has REPEATEDLY worked with anti-gun democraps to advance major gun control priorities in Washington!!!!

In 2022, he joined democraps to pass S.2938, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the largest federal gun control bill in nearly 30 years.

His deal pumped 75 million dollars into “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation programs, empowered bidung's ATF to crack down on private sales, created lifetime gun bans for many young adults and opened the door to new bans based on vague accusations.

Every democrap in the Senate voted for it - AND SO DID GRAHAM!

Graham had the audacity to help advance this agenda while still deceiving voters and pretending to be a defender of gun rights.
This was not a one-time mistake!

In 2018, Graham co-sponsored federal “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation legislation, S.2521, with Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT), creating a national framework to encourage Extreme Risk Protection Order gun confiscation laws based on allegations, not criminal convictions.

CLYBURN'S ILLEGAL DISTRICT NEEDS TO BE GONE - NOW!!!

For months, the South Carolina Freedom Caucus and House Freedom Caucus member Ralph Norman have been leading the push to redraw South Carolina’s congressional map, after the Supreme Court’s Callais decision dealt a major blow to racial gerrymandering.

The goal is straightforward: A constitutional 7-0 Republican congressional delegation.

But the fight has exposed exactly how the Uniparty operates. A few days ago, the South Carolina Senate - (with help from the RINOs) - killed the redistricting effort, despite overwhelming support from conservative voters. Why? Because liberal Republican State Senators, THE RINOs, joined the communist democraps to block it! Pressure immediately intensified from:

⚡️The White House
⚡️Ralph Norman
⚡️The South Carolina Freedom Caucus
⚡️Grassroots activists
THE PRESSURE WORKED!!! Governor McMaster was forced to call a special session on redistricting.

When the SC House reconvenes it is expected to pass the new map quickly. The Senate returns Monday. But the fight is far from over.

Opponents in the Senate are now expected to slow-walk the legislation until May 26, when early voting begins for congressional primaries. If they can delay long enough, they may be able to kill the map for this election cycle entirely! DO NOT LET THEM DO IT!!!

THIS is how the SC "Uniparty" plays the game, but THAT is why Freedom Caucuses matter! They force fights the establishment wants to avoid. - SUPPORT THE SC FREEDOM CAUCUS!!!
