WFW AF Endorses Senator Darline Graham for Senate in South Carolina

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Winning For Women Action Fund (WFW AF) announced its endorsement of Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina’s Special Republican Primary for U.S. Senate.

“Darline didn’t ask for this moment, but she has answered it,” said WFW AF President Danielle Barrow. “She has hit the ground running in the Senate, is making her case directly to South Carolina voters, and is articulating a vision for the state that is grounded in real experience and genuine conviction. She is the right leader for this seat, and we are proud to endorse her.”

“Darline is a testament to the kind of leaders WFW AF was built to support,” said WFW AF Executive Director Meredith Allen Dellinger. “She has spent nearly 30 years working for the people of South Carolina – advocating for residents with disabilities, working families, and those whose voices often go unheard in the halls of Congress. That’s not a political resume, but a life of service – and that’s exactly what South Carolina needs in the Senate.”

Sen. Darline Graham was appointed to the U.S. Senate by Governor Henry McMaster following the death of her brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and became the first woman to represent South Carolina in the United States Senate. Prior to her appointment, she served for nearly 30 years in South Carolina state government, including at the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department and the South Carolina Commission for the Blind, where she advocated for residents with disabilities. She has earned the endorsements of President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Rep. William Timmons (SC-4), and the Republican Jewish Coalition, among others.
