Columbia, SC. – South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick released the following statement on the 75th Anniversary of D-Day: “75 years ago today, more than 156,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to confront evil and liberate an entire continent. D-Day was the turning point of the war in Europe and we must always remember the sacrifices of those who paid the ultimate price to save freedom and civilization. I encourage all South Carolinians to take some time today to honor the bravery that our forces and allies exhibited in northern France 75 years ago.” General Eisenhower said it
Last night, after months of refusing to act on solving the humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Cunningham passed amnesty legislation for over 2 million. While Rep. Cunningham may think that criminals who have a history of gang membership, gun related charges and DUI convictions are in need of green cards, we are sure that the people of the 1st Congressional District don’t. This is just one more example of Rep. Cunningham siding with Nancy Pelosi and liberal extremists in Washington who want nothing more than to eliminate ICE and have open borders. There is
(5/29/19- Columbia, SC)SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick released the following statement on Jaime Harrison running for the U.S. Senate: “Democrats have spent months attacking Senator Graham for standing up for conservative values and refusing to give in to the liberal smear campaign against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Gloria Tinubu and Jaime Harrison hope to extract revenge by rallying liberals across America to their cause, but they are going to learn the hard way that South Carolinians appreciate the leadership that Lindsey Graham has brought to the issues they care about.”
5/29/19- Columbia, SC) SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick released the following statement regarding Kamala Harris’ town hall events in South Carolina: “Kamala Harris is ‘pro choice’ when it comes to abortion, but not when it comes to allowing parents the right to choose their childrens school, curriculum or classrooms. Her costly programs may appeal to radicals in New York and California, but she’ll soon find out that South Carolinians want nothing to do with her high tax schemes that would make education even worse. Kamala Harris wants to ‘have a conversation’ about letting convicted terrorists vote from prison, taking our guns and

Fellow Republicans, Today the SCGOP was pleased to welcome Lancaster County Clerk of Court Jeff Hammond to the Republican Party! Jeff Hammond has served as the Clerk of Court since 2001 and his switch now gives Republicans a clean sweep of the Lancaster County Courthouse! Our Party is GROWING all across South Carolina because of our conservative principles and the hard work done by our local county party activists. We are the Party of low taxes, limited government and traditional values, and it’s those principles that have enabled us to build a growing majority coalition all across South Carolina. The
I wanted to flag a recent National Review article that highlights the Equality Act, which just passed the Democrat-led House of Representatives. Rep. Joe Cunningham was the only South Carolina representative irresponsible enough to support the bill. This legislation would do historic damage to religious liberty and rights. Republicans offered several amendments that sought to improve the legislation, all were rejected by the Democrats. It is time for Joe Cunningham to listen to the people of his district because he will find out that the majority of his constituents oppose extreme legislation like this. But don’t just take it from
(5/21/19- Columbia, SC) SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick released the following statement regarding the “Stop the Bans” rally in Columbia. “What these people are really protesting is legislation that would protect the life of an unborn child in the womb. Democrats and liberals talk about social justice and rights, except for when it comes to the most fundamental right that you can have as a human being, the right to life. The Republican party won’t stand by while Democrats like Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Cory Booker advocate for infanticide and attack the sanctity of human life, to say nothing of
