COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — South Carolina Republicans made significant gains during the recent elections, but there are divisions within the party. One notable group is the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, which announced its legislative agenda on Thursday. This caucus consists of about 20 House members who do not fully align with the broader Republican Party.
According to Representative Jordan Pace, one of the key issues for the Freedom Caucus is promoting school choice. Another major proposal they aim to push is a strict abortion ban that would take effect from the moment of conception.
When asked about Representative RJ May and his status in the caucus, especially with his ongoing investigation, Pace chose not to comment further.
It’s clear that the Freedom Caucus faces challenges not only from Democrats but also from fellow Republicans, including House Speaker Murrell Smith and others. Despite the opposition, the caucus is determined to advance its agenda in the upcoming legislative session.
