Rep. Ralph Norman, among House’s most conservative, set to enter South Carolina governor’s race
SOUTH CAROLINA, JUL 25 – Rep. Ralph Norman, known as South Carolina's most conservative U.S. House member, joins a crowded GOP field motivated by strong ties to former Governor Nikki Haley.
- On Friday, Rep. Ralph Norman filed to enter South Carolina's 2026 governor's race, his campaign told The Associated Press.
- Amid his conservative tenure, Norman, a House Freedom Caucus member, backed Trump and voted against impeachments, reflecting his strong GOP ties.
- On Jan. 6, 2021, Norman urged the then-president to declare `Marshall Law` in a text to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, during the Capitol assault.
