    Every Vote Matters: Send Russell Fry to the U.S. Senate

    The South Carolina Special Primary for the U.S Senate will be here tomorrow. My full support is behind Russell Fry whom I have known since he and I served together as County Republican Chairman on the SCGOP Executive Committee.  Russell is the same down-to-earth guy I knew back then.  Personable, approachable and very conservative.  If you want a conservative warrior who is a proven who stood President Trump from day one Russell Fry is your candidate. He has delivered results not just rhetoric in the S.C. House and United States Congress.

    Russell Fry has a record of turning conservative priorities into action, not merely making campaign promises. His Grant Transparency Act and Trafficking Survivors Relief Act were signed into law, proving he can work through the legislative process and deliver results. He has fought for a secure border, stronger immigration enforcement and decisive action against the fentanyl pipeline that is destroying families and communities. Fry also supports making President Trump’s tax cuts permanent, cutting wasteful federal spending and reducing the regulations that drive up costs for families, farmers, manufacturers and small businesses.

    In the Senate, Russell Fry will defend the Second Amendment, religious liberty, the right to life and the traditional values South Carolinians hold dear. He supports American energy dominance through oil, natural gas and nuclear power, which will help lower costs and reduce our dependence on hostile foreign nations. Fry will fight to bring critical manufacturing and supply chains back to America, prevent foreign adversaries from buying our farmland, support term limits, ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks and hold the federal bureaucracy accountable. South Carolina needs a proven conservative with courage and energy to fight for the next generation. Vote Russell Fry for the United States Senate.

    This special election is about turnout! Turnout will decide our nominee. You simply can’t sit at home and assume someone else will vote. This will be a really close election. If you want Russell Fry representing, you in the U.S. you need to cast your vote for Russell Fry tomorrow between 7am and 7pm.  Social media post and yard signs do not elect U.S. Senators you do! I hope many of you are making calls for the campaign tonight as I am.  Get out the VOTE!

    The special Republican primary is Tuesday, August 11. Polls are open 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. Anyone in line by 7:00 p.m. may vote. Voters should verify their polling place because some locations have changed and bring an accepted photo ID.

    Voters who participated in the June Republican primary—or did not vote in either June party primary—are eligible. Those who voted in the June Democratic primary are not eligible. Official SC Votes election information

  • Why South Carolina Needs More Local Journalism Right Now

    Welcome to The Palmetto Review

    South Carolina moves fast. One week it is a school funding debate, the next it is a coastal development fight, a city council shake-up, or a cultural flashpoint that suddenly becomes dinner-table conversation across the state. The Palmetto Review exists to follow those stories with curiosity, clarity, and a sharp editorial eye.

    We are an independent publication covering politics, policy, current affairs, and culture with reporting and commentary rooted in the Palmetto State. Our goal is simple: help readers make sense of what is happening, why it matters, and what questions deserve closer attention.

    What You Can Expect

    • News coverage that tracks the decisions, debates, and developments shaping South Carolina communities
    • Policy reporting that breaks down complex issues into language real people can actually use
    • Opinion and editorial features that challenge assumptions and spark thoughtful discussion
    • Culture stories that explore the people, ideas, and trends giving the state its character

    We believe readers do not need more noise. They need reporting with context, commentary with backbone, and stories that respect their time. That means fewer vague headlines, more substance, and a publication voice that is informed without becoming stuffy.

    Good local journalism does more than report events. It helps a community understand itself.

    Why This Matters

    State politics and local policy decisions affect everyday life in direct ways: what gets funded, what gets built, what gets protected, and who gets heard. Yet many of these stories are either underexplained or buried beneath national headlines. We think South Carolina deserves coverage that treats local developments as more than footnotes.

    The Palmetto Review is here for readers who want to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you are following legislation, watching local leadership, or simply trying to understand the mood of the state, we aim to offer reporting and perspective that feel timely, readable, and worth returning to.

    Read Along With Us

    This is just the beginning. In the weeks ahead, we will be publishing news analysis, opinion pieces, and cultural features that keep pace with South Carolina while making room for nuance, humor, and strong editorial judgment. If you care about where the state is headed, you are in the right place.
