<p>Dear Fellow South Carolinians,<br><br>I never imagined I would be speaking to you under these circumstances. Last Saturday, I lost my brother, Lindsey.<br><br>Lindsey was my rock and my hero. He was always there for me, just like he was for so many of you.<br><br>If I could trade this moment and have Lindsey back, I would do so in a heartbeat.<br><br>But I can’t.<br><br>I have been amazed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from the people of South Carolina. I always knew Lindsey was an amazing person, but I have been overwhelmed by how many people truly loved him and how many lives he touched.<br><br>Lindsey dedicated his life to serving South Carolina and defending our nation. He accomplished so much, yet he still had so many big ideas that he was determined to see through.<br><br>Now, it’s time for me to step up for South Carolina, just like he stepped up for me when our parents died. In the most challenging of times, I’ve learned God often calls on ordinary people to do extraordinary things.<br><br>Yet I am not Lindsey. I have my own way of doing things. But we were raised with the same values: work hard each day, trust in the Lord, remember your roots, and never forget who you work for.<br><br>That’s why I’ve spent my career helping South Carolinians with disabilities find employment and live independently. <br><br>On behalf of my family and Lindsey’s staff — who have worked tirelessly through their own grief while continuing to serve the people of our state — thank you. We are truly humbled and appreciative.<br><br>I did not seek this moment. But it’s here. Now, I’m asking for your prayers.<br><br>God Bless, <br><br> <img style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; max-width: 100%; float: left;" title="Senator_Darline_Graham_formal_digital_signature.jpg" src="https://outreach.senate.gov/iqextranet/Customers/quorum_lgraham-iq/Senator_Darline_Graham_formal_digital_signature.jpg" alt="Image" width="178" height="50" align="left"> <br><br></p>
