Serving South Carolina has been the greatest honor of my life. Every vote I cast, every hearing I called, every fight I picked — it was always for you. I’ve seen what happens when good people stay quiet. And I’ve seen what happens when they don’t. I would choose the latter every single time. I’ve taken on the rich and powerful in both parties because I stand with the people of South Carolina! I am literally willing to get on a plane to evacuate you from a war zone - I’ve done that too. I voted to release the Epstein files and lost some support for that. As a survivor, I chose to stand on principle and stand against the Epstein cover-up. I chose to expose the names hidden in the sexual harassment slush fund. I chose to expose DEI judges. I chose to expose the abusers of children. And apparently, I chose wrong if the goal was winning an election. I'm at peace with that. Because when a candidate is OK with corruption and cover-ups - something is broken. That's not a political opinion. That's a moral emergency. I will always be grateful for the people of South Carolina who trusted me, fought with me, and refused to look the other way. This isn't the end of the fight. It's just the end of this chapter. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve my fellow country man and serve the greatest state in the nation, South Carolina.
