GRAND STRAND POLITICS SPECIAL EVENT - LINDSEY GRAHAM SWING THROUGH MYRTLE BEACH part 1 - The Logan's Law Press Conference with Stephen Federico and Congressman Russell Fry

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541537/fan_mail/new] GRAND STRAND POLITICS SPECIAL EVENT Lindsey Graham Swing Through Myrtle Beach (Part 1) The Logan’s Law Press Conference with Stephen Federico and Congressman Russell Fry In this special event edition of Grand Strand Politics, we bring you coverage of Senator Lindsey Graham’s visit to Myrtle Beach for a deeply emotional and important press conference surrounding the introduction of Logan’s Law. The legislation emerged in response to the tragic murder of Logan Federico in Columbia, South Carolina — a loss that devastated family, friends, and many across the state. In the wake of that tragedy, lawmakers and advocates have pushed for changes they believe could help prevent similar crimes and strengthen protections for public safety. Joined by Russell Fry and advocate Stephen Federico, the press conference focused not only on policy, but on remembrance, accountability, and the human cost behind legislation often debated only in political terms. This episode captures the remarks, emotions, and conversations from the event as participants reflected on Logan’s life, the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, and the effort to turn grief into action. In Part 1, we explore: • The story and significance behind Logan’s Law  • Senator Lindsey Graham’s remarks during the Myrtle Beach stop  • Congressman Russell Fry’s role in advancing the legislation  • Stephen Federico’s advocacy and reflections  • The broader debate surrounding crime, public safety, and prevention More than a political event, this was a gathering shaped by loss and by the hope that meaningful change can emerge from tragedy. A life remembered.  A family’s grief.  And a legislative effort born from one heartbreaking moment in South Carolina.

Russell Fry South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidates Forum Part 2: : Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, and Congressman Ralph Norman

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541537/fan_mail/new] Russell Fry South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidates Forum — Part 2 Featuring Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, and Congressman Ralph Norman In this special rebroadcast edition, we continue our coverage of the South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidates Forum hosted by Russell Fry — an event that brought together leading Republican candidates for an extended, issue-focused discussion about the future of South Carolina. At a time when political discourse is often compressed into brief exchanges and headlines, Congressman Fry created a forum that emphasized substance, allowing voters to hear directly from the candidates in a longer and more thoughtful format. His hosting of the event provided an important opportunity for South Carolinians to evaluate the experience, priorities, and leadership styles of those seeking the governor’s office. Part 2 features three prominent figures in South Carolina and national politics: First is Nancy Mace, the congresswoman representing South Carolina’s First Congressional District. Mace first gained national attention as the first woman to graduate from The Citadel’s Corps of Cadets and later built a political career emphasizing fiscal conservatism, government accountability, and a willingness to challenge both parties when she believes necessary. Her congressional career has made her one of the most visible political figures in the state. Also featured is Pamela Evette, the current Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina and a successful businesswoman before entering public office. Serving alongside Governor Henry McMaster, Evette has focused on workforce development, economic growth, small business issues, and expanding opportunities throughout the state. She became the first female Republican lieutenant governor in South Carolina history. Finally, we hear from Ralph Norman, the longtime congressman representing South Carolina’s Fifth Congressional District. A businessman and former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, Norman has built a reputation as a strong fiscal conservative and outspoken advocate for limited government, economic development, and conservative grassroots principles. In these long-form discussions, the candidates address: • Their vision for the future of South Carolina  • Economic growth and business development  • Public safety and immigration  • Education and infrastructure  • State leadership and conservative governance  • The direction of the Republican Party This episode gives listeners the opportunity to hear the candidates beyond campaign slogans — in their own words and at length. Three candidates.  Three different leadership styles.  One race that will help define South Carolina’s next chapter.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
