Dear John,
I wanted to write you a quick note about the stops we made on the campaign trail over the last few weeks.
Here's a rundown of what my team and I have been up to (and links to more pictures!):
- Spoke to nearly 1,000 people at the South Carolina Republican Party's annual Silver Elephant Dinner. We were honored
to have my good friend and the Palmetto State's own White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney give the keynote address.
- Joined Congressman Jeff Duncan and conservatives from across the Upstate for the Greenville County Republican Party's
"Washington Night" event
broadcasted live on by 94.5 "The Answer!"
- Visited with residents at a great community-building cookout in Chapin hosted
by SC Representative Nathan Ballentine.
- Spoke at the Newberry County Republican Party BBQ dinner
in Newberry to a packed house.
- Swung by the Charleston County Republican Women's
luncheon where I spoke to a group of fired-up women in Mount Pleasant.

- Participated in a great discussion at the "Pints and Politics" Q&A session hosted
by The Post & Courier in Charleston.
- Dropped by Wade's Restaurant in Spartanburg for a luncheon hosted by the Spartanburg County Republican Party.
- Sweated and chatted with over 250 people who braved the summer heat and humidity for a Q&A event hosted by the Sun
City Republican Club and Lancaster County
Republican Party in Indian Land.
- Enjoyed a wonderful evening in Rock Hill at a dinner hosted by the York County GOP. They had a great crowd of
more than 300 people, including Congressman Ralph Norman, who are fired up for 2020!

- Ate peaches
and pizza in Gaffney surrounded by energized conservatives from across Cherokee County.
- Joined Vice President Mike Pence and Governor Henry McMaster in Anderson for the annual "Faith and Freedom BBQ" hosted
by my friend, Congressman Jeff Duncan! Over 3,000 patriotic and energetic South Carolinians packed the arena and are ready re-elect Trump-Pence in
2020!
- Spoke to an overflow crowd at a luncheon hosted by the Aiken Republican Club.
- Talked politics and ate peanuts while watching the
Columbia Fireflies warm-up at Segra Park! Thanks to the Lexington County and Richland County Republican Parties for hosting this great event.
- Marked the unofficial end to summer by walking in the Chapin Labor Day Parade with dozens of my
fellow members of Team Graham!

- Spent some time hunting at a campaign dove shoot and enjoying some wonderful BBQ in Orangeburg.
- Spent a Friday night with an energized crowd of more than 300 in North Myrtle Beach. Horry County is
ready to continue their historic success of delivering Republican victories!
- Celebrated the remarkable growth of the Republican Party in the Pee
Dee with a breakfast hosted by the Florence County Republican Party.
- Cheered on my
alma mater, the University of South Carolina, as they took on the Alabama Crimson Tide. They weren't able to pull off the upset, but
Gamecock Nation did not disappoint during the tailgate!

I enjoyed seeing a lot of old friends and meeting plenty of new ones as I traveled around the Palmetto State.
I heard the same comments over and over: nominate more conservative judges like Kavanaugh, support President Trump's conservative agenda in Congress,
support our men and women in the military, secure our southern border, and unite voters across the state so we can win re-election next year.
All I can say is, I got the message loud and clear!
If the last few weeks have proven anything to me, it's that conservatives across South Carolina are fired up like never before. Too much is at stake
in America for us to let Democrats fundamentally change our country.
That is why I will continue this aggressive travel schedule across our state. If you want to help this effort,
please chip in $10 or more to pay for gas! This travel allows me to continue the conversation with South Carolinians from every corner
of our great state and is one of the best parts of this job.
I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail very soon.
Sincerely,

Lindsey Graham
United States Senator
P.S. I'll be in Bluffton next week at a dinner hosted by the Beaufort County Republican Party, so make plans to join us if you're in the
area!
