On the Issues

  • Lindsey Graham has consistently supported foreign aid packages, interventionist policies, and visa programs that prioritize global interests over American workers and taxpayers. From backing billions in overseas spending to supporting policies that undercut domestic wages, his record reflects a Washington-first mindset, not an America First one.


    Mark Lynch believes the federal government’s first responsibility is to the American people. That means securing our economy, protecting our workers, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent at home before being sent overseas.


    • End foreign aid to countries that do not provide a clear, direct benefit to U.S. national interests

    • Prioritize funding for veterans’ healthcare, housing, and services before any foreign commitments

    • End H-1B, OPT, and similar visa programs to prevent wage suppression and protect American jobs and students

    • Oppose trade and labor policies that incentivize outsourcing or replace American workers

    • Require full congressional approval and transparency for all major foreign aid and international spending packages

  • Lindsey Graham has consistently supported massive omnibus spending bills, repeated debt ceiling increases, and foreign aid packages with limited accountability. From unchecked Pentagon spending to surveillance expansions and bloated federal programs, his record reflects a willingness to preserve the status quo rather than rein in waste, fraud, and abuse.

    Mark Lynch believes every taxpayer dollar should be treated like it matters, because it does. He will push for aggressive oversight, real spending cuts, and structural reforms that eliminate waste and restore accountability across the federal government.

    • Pass aggressive spending cuts modeled after “DOGE-style” audits to eliminate wasteful programs

    • Mandate a full audit of every federal agency, including the Department of Defense

    • Tie all foreign aid to strict accountability, transparency, and measurable outcomes

    • Close loopholes that allow large-scale fraud schemes, including abuses in federal childcare, hospice, and benefits programs

    • Oppose omnibus spending bills and require single-issue, transparent appropriations

    • Support a balanced budget amendment to force fiscal discipline in Congress

    • Block future debt ceiling increases without real, enforceable spending reforms

    • Reform federal grant programs to prevent misuse and require performance-based funding

    • Scale back federal surveillance authorities that lack clear oversight and accountability

    • Cut redundant federal agencies and eliminate programs that duplicate state-level responsibilities

  • Lindsey Graham has failed to lead on restoring confidence in federal elections, offering little resistance as states expanded mail-in voting, loosened verification standards, and introduced practices that weaken chain-of-custody protections. Rather than pushing for clear national standards, he has allowed a patchwork system that leaves voters questioning the integrity of the process.


    Mark Lynch believes every legal vote should count, and only legal votes should count. Restoring trust in elections requires strong, uniform standards that ensure transparency, accountability, and security across every federal election.


    • Require voter ID for all federal elections

    • Mandate proof of U.S. citizenship to register and vote in federal elections

    • Ban ballot harvesting nationwide to protect the chain of custody

    • Eliminate unsecured drop boxes and require monitored, controlled ballot collection

    • End mass unsolicited mail-in voting and restore in-person voting as the national standard

    • Require regular voter roll maintenance and verification by states

  • Lindsey Graham has taken inconsistent positions on life, at times introducing federal limits while also supporting broader spending bills and policies that fail to fully restrict taxpayer funding tied to abortion. His approach has lacked clarity and consistency, leaving the issue subject to political compromise rather than firm conviction.


    Mark Lynch believes life is a fundamental, God-given right that must be protected from conception. He will advocate for clear, consistent policies that defend the unborn while also supporting mothers, families, and alternatives to abortion.



    • Support federal legislation that recognizes and protects life from conception

    • Oppose all federal funding for abortion and codify Hyde Amendment protections into permanent law

    • Expand federal support for adoption services, pregnancy resource centers, and maternal care programs

    • Protect conscience rights for doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers who refuse to participate in abortions

    • Advance policies that provide economic and healthcare support for mothers and young families

  • Lindsey Graham has talked tough on crime, but has not led a sustained effort to pass strong federal reforms that deter rioting, protect communities, and back law enforcement when it matters most. As violent crime and organized unrest have risen in recent years, Washington has too often responded with rhetoric instead of results.

    Mark Lynch believes safe communities are the foundation of a functioning society. He will stand firmly with law enforcement, restore consequences for violent crime, and ensure the federal government supports, not undermines, those who keep our communities safe.

    • Increase federal penalties for rioting, looting, and destruction of property tied to interstate or organized activity

    • Expand federal funding and resources for local and state law enforcement agencies

    • Designate and prosecute organized violent groups under federal law where applicable

    • Enforce strict federal protections for public monuments, historical sites, and federal property

    • Strengthen coordination between federal, state, and local agencies to respond to large-scale unrest

  • Lindsey Graham has repeatedly worked with Democrats to expand federal involvement in gun control, backing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and co-sponsoring red flag legislation that opens the door to government confiscation. From pushing expanded background checks to incentivizing state-level gun restrictions, he has helped normalize federal overreach into the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans.

    Mark Lynch believes the Second Amendment is not negotiable and was never meant to be managed by Washington bureaucrats. He will defend the right of Americans to keep and bear arms without federal interference and work to restore the full scope of those rights as originally intended.

    • Oppose any new federal gun control legislation or restrictions

    • Roll back federal overreach that infringes on lawful gun ownership

    • Support nationwide constitutional carry reciprocity

    • Repeal the National Firearms Act (NFA)

    • Block federal funding for red flag laws and gun confiscation programs

    • Protect due process rights against preemptive firearm seizure

    • Oppose mandatory storage laws that criminalize responsible gun owners

    • Reinforce Second Amendment protections through federal preemption limits

  • Lindsey Graham has spent decades working with Democrats to push amnesty-style policies, expand visa programs, and prioritize foreign nationals over American citizens. From backing resettlement programs to supporting immigration deals that weaken enforcement, he has consistently put Washington's interests ahead of South Carolina's.

    Mark Lynch believes immigration policy should serve one purpose: protecting American workers, families, and sovereignty. That means ending the incentives that drive illegal immigration and restoring a system that puts Americans first, not global corporations or political insiders.

    • End birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants

    • Mandate nationwide E-Verify for all employers

    • Fully secure the southern border and complete the wall

    • Mass deportation of illegal immigrants who entered under Biden-era policies

    • End abuse of H-1B and similar visa programs that undercut American wages

    • Eliminate federal funding to sanctuary cities

    • Increase penalties for companies hiring illegal labor

  • Lindsey Graham has repeatedly voted to raise the debt ceiling, backed massive omnibus spending bills, and supported deficit spending that has pushed the national debt to historic levels. Rather than forcing fiscal discipline, his record reflects a willingness to keep borrowing and spending without addressing the root problem.


    Mark Lynch believes Washington should live by the same principles every American family and business does: don’t spend money you don’t have. He will fight to restore fiscal sanity, rein in reckless spending, and put the country back on a path to a balanced budget.

    • Advance a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution to require fiscal discipline

    • Oppose deficit spending and vote against budgets that increase the national debt

    • Cut non-essential federal programs and eliminate wasteful spending

    • Require transparent, line-item accountability for all federal expenditures

    • Support enforceable spending caps tied to revenue to prevent future budget shortfalls

  • Lindsey Graham has been one of the strongest voices in Washington for foreign intervention, backing prolonged military engagements and continued overseas involvement without clear endpoints. From supporting open-ended commitments to approving billions in foreign aid, his approach has too often put America in conflicts without defined objectives or accountability.

    Mark Lynch believes America’s military exists to defend the United States, not to fight endless wars abroad. He will push for a strong, focused national defense that protects our homeland, respects the Constitution, and ensures that every deployment serves a clear and necessary purpose.

    • End U.S. involvement in open-ended foreign conflicts that lack clear objectives or defined end states

    • Require formal congressional authorization before any new military engagement

    • Refocus military strategy on defending the homeland, securing borders, and deterring direct threats to the United States

    • Require clearly defined objectives, measurable benchmarks, and exit strategies for any authorized military action

    • Increase funding, accountability, and access to care for veterans, including mental health and transition services

  • Lindsey Graham has largely avoided leading on protecting women’s spaces and fairness in athletics as federal agencies and activist groups have pushed policies that blur biological distinctions. As these changes have moved through schools and sports programs, Washington has failed to set clear standards that protect women and families.

    Mark Lynch believes common sense and fairness should guide federal policy. He will fight to protect women’s sports, preserve privacy and safety in female spaces, and ensure that families, not bureaucrats, set the standards for their children.

    • Enforce Title IX based on biological sex to protect fairness in women’s athletics

    • Prohibit biological males from competing in women’s sports in federally funded programs

    • Protect privacy in women’s spaces, including locker rooms, bathrooms, and shelters

    • Affirm parental rights in education decisions related to gender policies and student welfareLindsey Graham has largely avoided leading on protecting women’s spaces and fairness in athletics as federal agencies and activist groups have pushed policies that blur biological distinctions.
