Thank You South Carolina

Last night’s election did not end the way we had hoped, but we wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to support Ralph, Elaine, and our entire campaign.

Campaigns are built on people, and this campaign was blessed with some of the very best. Whether you made a contribution, hosted an event, volunteered your time, placed a sign in your yard, or simply encouraged your friends and neighbors to vote, you played an important role in this effort. We are deeply grateful for your hard work, generosity, and friendship.
 
For Ralph, it has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of South Carolina. While this chapter has come to a close, his commitment to our state remains unchanged. Ralph will continue serving the people of South Carolina’s Fifth Congressional District in Washington until the end of his term in January, working every day to advance the conservative principles and values that brought us together.
 
As many of you have heard Ralph say over the years, one of his greatest joys is welcoming South Carolinians to Washington. If you would ever like to bring your family to visit our nation’s capital, please do not hesitate to reach out. Ralph always enjoys taking children onto the House Floor to teach them about our government and the responsibilities of citizenship.
 

Thank you for standing with us throughout this journey. You have been tremendous friends and supporters, and we will always be grateful for your encouragement, your trust, and your belief in Ralph’s vision for South Carolina.

With sincere appreciation,

Ralph Norman for Governor
