The South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus is fighting to preserve abortion and advance the homo agenda in the Palmetto State, dumping cash and support into the re-election campaigns of State Senators who’ve supported abortion, gay marriage, and anti-speech hate crime legislation championed by the LGBT lobby.
In Senate Districts 23 and 41, the South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus is backing the re-election campaigns of two of the “Sister Senators” who joined forces with Democrats to block post-Roe abortion restrictions in 2023.
The two Republicans, Senators Katrina Shealy (District 23) and Sandy Senn (District 41) were among the female South Carolina State Senators awarded the Kennedy Courage Award in 2023, for their pro-abort Senate efforts.
From the Kennedy Courage Award page:
In April 2023, Senators Katrina Shealy (R), Margie Bright Matthews (D), Mia McLeod (I), Sandy Senn (R), and Penry Gustafson (R) held a two-day filibuster to block a near-total abortion ban in South Carolina. During the filibuster, each of the five lawmakers took turns describing the complexities of pregnancy and the reproductive system, the dangers of lack of access to contraception, and inadequate privacy laws. Senators Bright Matthews and McLeod even publicly shared their deeply personal experiences with the subject on the Senate floor. Their filibuster halted passage of the ban.
The SCSRC is also backing the campaign of Jason Elliot (District 22), South Carolina’s first openly gay State Senator who sponsored left-wing hate crime legislation that squashes opposition to public displays of homosexuality and further diminishes America’s founding principle of a blind justice system.
Elliot’s 2024 campaign has encouraged early voting and is heavily supported by Americans for Prosperity, the open borders big business political advocacy group.
In yet another race impacted by the SCSRC, this time in Senate District 12, conservative firebrand and former South Carolina State Senator Lee Bright is taking on Representative Roger Nutt, who’s backed by the SCSRC despite his voting record that includes spending taxpayer money on “queer body art” and gummy bear statues.
There is no incumbent in the District 12 race, but Lee Bright represented the District from 2009 to 2017 and the South Carolina political establishment, including Nikki Haley, have spent years trying to keep him out of office.
In the current election cycle, the SCSRC is sending out mailers and running TV advertisements on Nutt’s behalf, attacking Lee Bright as being too conservative for his deep-red district in his deep-red state.
If elected, Lee Bright is expected to form a Freedom Caucus in the South Carolina State Senate.
