Sunday, July 12, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Mark Harris (NC-08) released the following statement on the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham:

“For decades, Senator Lindsey Graham devoted his life to serving the people of South Carolina and our nation. He earned a reputation as one of the most influential voices in the United States Senate, particularly on issues of national security, support for our military, and the confirmation of federal judges.

“While not everyone agreed with him on every issue, there was never any doubt about his commitment to public service or his willingness to stand firmly for what he believed. His impact on our country’s political landscape will be felt for generations. I am especially thankful for his steadfast defense of the sanctity of life and his efforts to protect the unborn.

“Please join me in praying for Senator Graham’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. May God grant them His comfort and peace, and may we always remember the value of faithful public service, principled leadership, and a deep love for our nation.”
