Congressman Ralph Norman joined other South Carolina gubernatorial candidates for the February 16th Spartanburg GOP and February 23rd Upstate Republican Women candidate forums. During both, Ralph established himself as the clear advocate for change and was positively received.

While other candidates relied on talking points, Ralph Norman laid out a clear and unapologetic plan to reform our state, commit to fiscal responsibility, hold government accountable, reform our transportation infrastructure, and protect South Carolina values in Columbia. Ralph’s message was answered with applause and during the Spartanburg event, a straw poll found Congressman Norman winning with 106 votes, with the others trailing behind.

In both forums, Ralph Norman stood out for his commitment to real solutions to address issues facing voters, such as reforming our state’s transportation infrastructure and judicial selection process. As momentum begins to build throughout South Carolina for a conservative businessman to face issues head-on as Governor.
