The motto of this great state, South Carolina. But it might as well be the theme of my entire life. I am the son of a team mom. I was raised by grandparents, with a fourth grade and eighth grade education. I went to yale, i went to georgetown law school. I worked on capitol hill be right i worked for the private sector. Now im a candidate for United States senate. Excuse me if i pinch myself. I have lived the American Dream and spent my entire life fighting for others to make sure they do the same. We have been divided for too long. Too many folks here in South Carolina lack the opportunity to live the American Dream themselves. Tonight, you will probably hear from Lindsey Graham and he will scare you to vote for him. I hope tonight to inspire you to support me. Thank you, sir. Senator graham, you have one minute. Sen. Graham you have nothing to be afraid of. Thank you for tuning in. Thank you to everybody who has gotten me here. We live in difficult times. 2020 is the most incredible
