DARLINE GRAHAM
Appointed to her late brother’s seat in July and the top vote-getter in the ten-candidate August 11 primary, Graham is a first-time candidate with President Trump’s endorsement. She spent her career in disability services, including leading the S.C. Commission for the Blind, and tells voters she’s a conservative, not a career politician.

RALPH NORMAN
The Rock Hill congressman has represented South Carolina’s 5th District for eight years and ran a family construction business before that. A leader in the House Freedom Caucus, he finished second on August 11 to force the runoff and campaigns on hardline fiscal conservatism and a willingness to fight rather than deal.

No candidate paid to participate, and participation in this forum should not be construed as support for or opposition to any candidate.

This Virtual Candidate Forum was produced as a nonpartisan voter-education project of Faith & Freedom Coalition of South Carolina and made available for unrestricted public access.
