At our forum tonight, we held a straw poll for the Senate candidates. Here are the results:

District 3
- Kevin Bryant: 100%
- Don Bowen, Jr.: 0%

District 4
- Billy O’Dell: 4%
- Riley Harvell: 64%

Bryant and Harvell were the only candidates present at the forum. Video will be posted soon.

Did you know that the senator who brought national shame to our state and the Republican Party by calling our governor a “raghead” is seeking re-election?

Retire Jake Knotts

That’s right! Besides the embarrassment he is to South Carolina, Jakie is one of the foremost Senate RINOs, a gatekeeper notorious for letting good bills die in his drawer without seeing the light of day.

Check out Knotts’ Horrible Legislative Record and see for yourself!

Conservatives across the state are joining the effort to remove Senator Knotts and replace him with a principled, accountable leader. One who has the courage to advance bold tax reforms, and move our state’s economy from pitiful to prosperous.

Katrina Shealy needs your help to compete with Jakie’s special interest money. Your contribution of any amount will help send Jakie and his RINO buddies a clear message: conservatives across the state are sticking together to remove RINOs from the SC Senate!

Thank you for all you do to advance the conservative cause!
