Lee Johnson for US Senate @leejohnsonforsc.com · May 14

My name is Lee Johnson and I’m running for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina.

Lindsey Graham left us behind. We need honest leaders, and we need a Senator who will show up for us.

While millions of Americans celebrate the 4th of July, Lindsey Graham is celebrating a bill that will rip healthcare away from millions of working families and devastate rural communities across our country.

What a shameless politician.

Our country was founded on liberty and freedom, and we’ve always fought to live up to those values.

We celebrate the 4th of July, but recognize that our country is hurting, and our leaders are failing us.

I believe our best days are still ahead. But we must stand up and fight for our values.

Lindsey Graham could’ve stopped this disaster in the Senate.

He knows this bill will devastate South Carolina for years to come. He knows this will hurt the people he’s supposed to represent.

But he simply does not care. November 3, 2026 can’t get here fast enough.

It is long past time that we ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.

His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

1.1 million South Carolinians rely on Medicaid. Lindsey Graham feels great about ripping their health insurance away.

Lindsey Graham just voted to pass the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.”

The devastating impacts this bill will have on South Carolina rest squarely on his weak shoulders. He must be held accountable.

Lindsey is either lying or he’s incompetent. Both are possible. Both are inexcusable.

Tweet from Sahil Kapur: NEW: Tucked inside the GOP mega-bill is an excise tax for solar and wind.
And Republicans say they have no idea who put this provision in, or why.
"I don't know where it came from." —Budget Chair Lindsey Graham, who released the bill.

Today I visited the Allendale County Hospital, a rural hospital that could shut down if the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” passes.

This hospital is a lifeline for thousands of South Carolinians. We can’t afford to lose it.

Lindsey Graham just called Medicaid a “money laundering scheme” on the floor of the Senate.

What a disgusting lie being pushed by a shameless politician. Millions of Americans will suffer if these cuts go through.

Lindsey Graham is a spineless coward who just voted to advance a bill that will rip away health insurance from millions of Americans.

Tweet from Lindsey Graham: I love my Republican colleagues.

One Big Beautiful Bill, here we come!

Republicans know their big ugly bill is bad for America. But they’ll still vote for it.

There’s a crisis of character in Congress.

Lindsey Graham doesn't want you to know the name of his opponent but will try every last pathetic attempt to save his seat.

My name is Lee Johnson. I am a Democrat running to retire Lindsey. If you are with me I need you to share this and follow my account. Let’s end this nightmare.

The Supreme Court has ruled that South Carolina can bar Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding for non-abortion services. This means that people on Medicaid no longer have the right to fight back when states restrict who they can see for care. That’s not freedom.

Supreme Court upholds South Carolina's ban on Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood

The Supreme Court allowed South Carolina to remove Planned Parenthood clinics from its state Medicaid program, even though Medicaid funds cannot generally be used to fund abortions.

50501 is non-partisan, but we cannot shy away from highlighting good points.

And we badly need alternatives to Graham and Scott. I’ve spoken to many people who send letters or make calls to both SC senators only to receive canned non-responses. SC deserves people who actually represent all of us!

Rural hospitals will not “get over it.”

They will shut down. Permanently.
