This month our featured speaker is U.S. Senator Darline Graham.
For nearly 30 years, Darline Graham has served her home state of South Carolina. Long before she took the oath as the state’s first female senator, she ran programs that helped South Carolinians with disabilities find employment, provide for their families, and live independently.
Darline, who is fiercely protective of taxpayer dollars, helped turn around a struggling state agency known for inefficiency. At the Commission for the Blind, she led 130 employees in 10 offices and oversaw a $90 million budget. In her previous roles, she helped South Carolinians find jobs through her work at the state’s vocational rehabilitation agency and Department of Employment and Workforce.
Darline has devoted her life to helping people find dignity through work – enabling them to contribute to society and support their families. That’s not political experience. It’s something more meaningful: serving South Carolinians – and serving them well.
Darline Graham didn’t seek this job. She answered the call when her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, passed away suddenly. Accepting the appointment to the U.S. Senate from Governor Henry McMaster, Darline said it plainly:
“Lindsey has always been there for me, and now, I’ll be there for him.”
That’s the same instinct that’s carried her through three decades of public service: showing up, doing the work, and putting people first. And it’s the same she will carry forward serving the state of South Carolina in the United States Senate.
We hope you can join us!
