Russell Fry was an early and unwavering ally of President Trump, and he's delivered as a reliable conservative vote for the America First agenda. He isn't interested in the Washington status quo — he's interested in results for South Carolina.
- Fight to lock in the America First agenda: secure borders, lower costs, energy dominance, and a government accountable to the people.
- Back the President's judges and nominees and stand firm against the obstruction that slows his mandate.
- Never forget who he works for — the people of South Carolina, not the D.C. establishment.

The border crisis reached every community in South Carolina through the fentanyl, crime, and cartel activity it unleashed. Russell has fought to restore order and won't let up until the job is finished.
- FINISH the wall and give border agents the resources and backup they need.
- STRENGTHEN immigration law, END catch-and-release, and DEPORT criminal illegal aliens.
- PUNISH the traffickers, ARREST the drug lords, and DESTROY the fentanyl pipeline poisoning our young people.

Groceries, gas, housing, insurance — South Carolina families are paying the price for years of Washington's reckless spending. Russell is fighting to make life affordable again.
- Make the Trump tax cuts permanent so families and small businesses keep more of what they earn.
- Roll back the regulatory burden crushing South Carolina's small businesses, farmers, and manufacturers.
- Cut wasteful federal spending, rein in the debt, and end the bailouts and handouts to insiders.

The Chinese Communist Party is the greatest long-term threat to America — economically, militarily, and technologically. Russell is committed to confronting it head-on.
- STOP the CCP from stealing our technology, infiltrating our institutions, and spying on Americans.
- BRING critical supply chains home and rebuild American manufacturing so we never depend on Beijing.
- BLOCK China and other foreign adversaries from buying up American farmland — especially near our military installations.

South Carolinians aren't buying the radical left's agenda, and neither is Russell. He'll always defend the Constitution and the God-given freedoms it protects.
- Protect every American's right to live out their faith free from government interference.
- Defend the Second Amendment without compromise.
- Stand for life and for the values South Carolina families hold dear.

Energy independence means lower costs, more jobs, and freedom from our adversaries. Russell is fighting to unleash American energy and keep it affordable.
- Advance an "all of the above" strategy — oil, gas, nuclear, and more — without the job-killing green mandates.
- Cut the permitting red tape that blocks new energy production and infrastructure.
- Keep America energy-independent so our enemies never hold our economy hostage again.

Career politicians have forgotten who they serve. Russell went to Congress to shake up a broken system — and he's still fighting to change how Washington works.
- Champion term limits so Congress can't become a lifetime appointment.
- Ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks and profiting off their offices.
- Demand real transparency and accountability from a bloated federal bureaucracy.

Parents — not bureaucrats — should decide what's best for their children. Russell is fighting to put families back in charge of education.
- Champion school choice and let education dollars follow the student.
- Get Washington out of the classroom and return control to parents, teachers, and local communities.
- Support the teachers who serve as everyday heroes while demanding results for every dollar spent.

South Carolina is home to generations of warfighters, and we owe them more than words. Russell is committed to standing with those who served.
- Guarantee veterans accessible, top-tier healthcare, mental health support, and a smooth transition to civilian life.
- Hold the VA accountable and cut the bureaucratic delays that leave those who served waiting.
- Support the military families and installations that anchor South Carolina communities.

A nation that can't feed itself isn't truly free. South Carolina agriculture is a bedrock of our economy and our way of life.
- Fight for fair trade that puts American farmers and domestic production first.
- STOP foreign adversaries from buying up American farmland.
- Cut the barriers holding back agricultural innovation, and invest in rural infrastructure, healthcare, and broadband.
