Two female candidates w/drew from our SC Supreme Court Judicial race. Leaving no choice & no women. I was looking forward to this vote, but it was over before session was out for the day! Disappointed and dismayed. #SCSupremeCourt #Penry2024 #WomenInCharge #NoWomenInCharge

I requested to adjourn the Senate in memory of Vivian Metze (1928-2022). She was an educator & community activist for 40+ years. She was the 1st African American & the 1st female to be elected Chair of the Kershaw County School Board. #Teacher #KershawCountyStrong #Penry2024

Arthur Ravenel was a giant of a man. He loved and fought for everything that makes South Carolina great. His remarkable legacy will live on in our love for our people, our heritage and our blessings of nature. Peggy and I hold the Ravenel family in our hearts and prayers.
