South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham held her first campaign event one day before the special Senate primary to choose a candidate for the November ballot. She discussed her management experience and said affordability would be a priority.
Graham held her first campaign event Monday morning, one day before the special Senate primary to decide who will appear on the November ballot in place of her late brother, Sen. Lindsay Graham. She said her lack of political experience could distinguish her from other candidates and described her experience running a state agency.
Graham said she would focus more on affordability and the struggles of South Carolinians, contrasting her background with her brother’s experience in the Air Force and his interest in foreign relations and national security. The report also said she was the only candidate with President Donald Trump’s endorsement and that she looked forward to working with him during his final two years in office.
