Sen. Darline Graham held a campaign meet-and-greet in West Columbia ahead of South Carolina’s special Republican primary. She highlighted her claimed role in passing the Russia-Iran Act of 2026 as she seeks a full Senate term.
Graham met with South Carolinians at Lizard’s Thicket in West Columbia on Monday as part of a final campaign push before Tuesday’s special Republican primary. Supporters said the event helped clarify their decisions at the polls.
