This one is particularly special to me. I was proud to receive the endorsement of Medal of Honor recipient and War Hero, Major General James E. Livingston today at our event in Mount Pleasant. I will always fight for South Carolina's veterans. Thank you, Maj. Gen. Livingston!

The news out of last night's debate appears to center around Darline Graham's unconditional support of data centers across South Carolina without local input. I want to be clear about where I stand: Data centers aren’t right for every town. If a town wants one, fine. If not, it shouldn’t be forced on them. Data centers must cover their own power and water costs, minimize their footprint, and not consume resources that belong to our citizens. How your representative addresses this reflects ho

I'm fighting to carry our MAGA movement forward into the next generation. Honored to have always stood with President Trump and to be the only one in this race who has passed legislation enacting his agenda. "Young, energetic, and possessing a solid conservative voting record, Fry is viewed by many Republicans as a long-term leader capable of carrying the MAGA movement well into the future." https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/south-carolina-senate-race-darline-graham/2026/07/21/id/1263625/

South Carolina, I'm in! I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Too many South Carolina families are struggling to make ends meet. High gas prices and soaring grocery costs are hurting hardworking people. We need a conservative fighter in the Senate who delivers real results. I will be your conservative MAGA candidate in the special primary Senate election this summer. I'm ready for the fight, and I'm all in. Join us: www.RussellFrySC.com

The Socialist Squad wants to put South Carolina’s Senate seat in play. They've recruited candidates like Annie Andrews, who would bring the same woke, far-left agenda to South Carolina that has hurt families all across America. Our state deserves a Senator who will stand with President Trump, not stand in his way. I need you with me. Will you join the team today and help me fight back against the radical Left?

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
