I wanted to take a minute to speak directly to the people who’ve been with me through the ups and downs: Team Graham.

I've got some news, John. I just made it official. I filed the paperwork to run for re-election to the United States Senate. WATCH NOW → Now, if you've followed my races before, you know what comes next. The Left will attack me with all that they've got. The same national Democrats who tried to defeat me before are already gearing up again: Hollywood donors, liberal super PACs, the whole machine. They'd love nothing more than to flip South Carolina and silence a conservative voice in the Senate. But here's the thing I've learned after all these years in politics: Momentum matters early. Right after a candidate files is when campaigns prove their strength. It's when supporters step forward and say, "I'm with you." That's why I'm asking every member of Team Graham to do something important today. If you've stood with me before and if you believe we still have work to do, I need you to step up right now and chip in whatever you can – even $5 or $10 to help us build momentum from day one. Not next month. Not later in the campaign. Right now. Because when the numbers come out, and the political world takes a look at this race, I want them to see one thing loud and clear: Team Graham is fired up and ready to go. So if you're with me – if you want to help me keep fighting for South Carolina and conservative values in Washington – please chip in whatever you can today. Let's show the Left that Team Graham is stronger than ever. Thank you, and God bless. Lindsey Graham WATCH NOW → In the United States Senate, South Carolina's Lindsey Graham has earned a reputation as a conservative, a problem–solver, and a leader who gets things done. He is a great friend to our men and women serving in uniform, a respected voice on national security matters, a leading advocate for cutting the out-of-control spending in Washington, and a champion for confirming conservative judges.  SUPPORT SENATOR GRAHAM   BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR  We want to make sure you're a proud member of Team Graham, and we don't want to bother you.
