8 priorities from darlinegraham.com, in the order they are listed there. Every heading and the text under it is copied exactly, as one passage for each page it is from, and links to that place on the page; hover a source to see which passage it opens.
Darline is fiercely protective of taxpayer dollars. She managed a $90 million budget and turned around a state agency known for inefficiency — and she brings that same standard to Washington.
Lower taxes. Less waste. More jobs.
She will work to make the Trump tax cuts permanent, root out waste and fraud in federal spending, and stop Washington from mortgaging our children's future. For nearly 30 years Darline has helped South Carolinians find work and provide for their families, and she will fight for lower taxes and less red tape for small business, real investment in workforce training and the skilled trades, and work requirements for able-bodied adults.

Every state is a border state, and the crisis at the southern border reaches South Carolina families directly.
Secure the border. Enforce the law. Stop the fentanyl.
Darline supports finishing the wall, fully funding border enforcement, and ending catch-and-release. She will fight the flow of fentanyl that is killing South Carolinians, back the removal of criminal illegal aliens, and oppose amnesty and taxpayer-funded benefits for those here illegally.

Darline is pro-life and believes every child is a gift from God.
Protecting the unborn. Supporting mothers. Defending families.
She supports mothers, adoption, and pregnancy resource centers, and opposes taxpayer funding of abortion. She will defend religious liberty, stand up for parents' rights in their children's education, and protect girls' sports and locker rooms.

South Carolinians deserve elections they can trust.
Voter ID. Clean rolls. Transparent counting.
Darline supports voter ID, accurate and up-to-date voter rolls, and counting that is transparent and secure. She opposes federal takeovers of state elections and any effort to let noncitizens vote.

Darline will always stand with the men and women in law enforcement who run toward danger.
Back the blue. Prosecute the criminals.
She opposes every effort to defund the police, supports the funding, training, and equipment our officers need, and backs tough penalties for fentanyl traffickers and violent repeat offenders. Safe streets and safe schools are the foundation everything else is built on.

The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Constitution, and Darline will defend it without apology.
No registries. No confiscation. No apologies.
She opposes gun registries, red-flag confiscation schemes, and bans on the firearms law-abiding South Carolinians own. She supports concealed carry reciprocity — and going after criminals instead of law-abiding gun owners.

Darline has spent her career serving South Carolinians, and she knows this state's needs are not Washington's talking points.
Rural communities, farmers, seniors, and people with disabilities.
As agency head at the SC Commission for the Blind she led 130 employees across 10 offices delivering vocational rehabilitation, independent-living, and blindness-prevention services — and she will cut the waiting lists and red tape that keep people from working and living independently. She will stand up for South Carolina farmers, expand rural broadband, fight to keep rural hospitals open, and protect Medicare and Social Security for the seniors who paid into them.

President Trump asked Darline to run, and in the United States Senate she is a reliable vote for the America First agenda.
A strong military, secure borders, and American energy.
South Carolina is a military state — home to Fort Jackson, Parris Island, Shaw Air Force Base, and Joint Base Charleston. Darline will fight for the resources our installations and service members need, hold the VA accountable so veterans get the care they earned, and back an all-of-the-above American energy strategy that lowers costs and ends our dependence on foreign adversaries.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 23 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 57 contributions · 12% of ranked | $30,479 |
| Written instead of an employer · 4 contributions · 5.2% of ranked | $12,873 |
| Written instead of an employer · 7 contributions · 4.8% of ranked | $11,787 |

A further $2,000 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($77,935) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Total itemized disbursements $160,552
Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 16 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.

The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
