A few months ago we introduced you all to the every FOUR YEAR SCGOP Congressional & State Conventions held prior to the RNC NATIONAL CONVENTION where we will select the GOP Presidential Candidate (HERE).

With South Carolina leading the way … we know that the GOP nominee will be President TRUMP … but very few people seem to know about these upcoming Congressional Conventions or the State Convention.

South Carolina has 50 National Delegates & 50 National Alternates to send to the RNC National Convention this year in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Monday, July 15th, 2024 – Thursday, July 18th, 2024.

Well … now we know the dates and times for selecting those 50 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 50 NATIONAL ALTERNATES … and EVERYONE who is a MAGA / America FIRST state delegate or state alternate should attend!!! Your attendance is “mandatory” if for no other reason than to “learn” about the process … but to also support your America FIRST candidates for the available positions. #VoteAmericaFIRST!!!

Do you really want Nikki Haley supporters going to the RNC National Convention? Hmmm … think about it.

REGISTER TODAY

If you were a STATE DELEGATE or a STATE ALTERNATE … here is the Eventbrite link to register for your respective CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

All SCGOP Congressional Conventions: HERE

1st District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE

2nd District – Tuesday, April 23rd at 7PM: HERE

4th District – Saturday, April 20th at 9AM: HERE

5th – District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE

7th District – Saturday, April 6th at 10AM: HERE

(*Verify all dates and times on SCGOP Eventbrite)

Yes you should go!!! Reunite with fellow America FIRST friends, learn the process, and support your respective America FIRST candidates.

Elections will consist of a Congressional District Chair, Vice Chair & Secretary … as well as 3 National Delegates + 3 National Alternates.

Be warned however, if you want to be a NATIONAL DELEGATE or ALTERNATE, you will have to cover your own travel and lodging cost which are estimated to be around $3,500 … so don’t run for a spot if you can’t go for the full week or would rather spend your dollars at the beach this summer.

SAVE THE DATE – Saturday May 4th

We don’t know the location or time yet … but we do know the STATE CONVENTION will be on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 … presumably somewhere central in the midlands / Columbia / Lexington area.  It will be BIG and like the state convention last May 2023 with 943 STATE DELEGATES & 943 STATE ALTERNATES eligible to attend.

At the convention we will elect the remaining 29 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 29 NATIONAL ALTERNATES.

The 2nd reason to show up for the STATE CONVENTION … we have heard that Drew McKissick and the RINO Establishment want to push through more “Rule Changes”.  They did this to slow down the America FIRST movement with their “Special Called Convention” on July 30th, 2022 … let’s see what tricks they may have in store for us this May 4th, 2024.

The RINOs don’t have the numbers now like they did in 2022 … but we have to SHOW UP!!!

Monday March 25th, 2024, will go down in history as a really, really, really GOOD DAY for President TRUMP!!!

First, a New York Appeals Court lowered the insane $454 million court bond payment to appeal the New York AG’s case to an equally insane, but manageable, $175 million bond.  That reduction as well as an extension of 10 days appears to be enough grace for President TRUMP to fulfill the obligation and preserve his properties in the State of New York.

DC_Draino (HERE) had the best meme of the day …

Truth Social goes PUBLIC!!!

• $4 BILLION!!!

But the YUGE news for President TRUMP from March 25th, 2024, is finally … TRUTH Social will be a publicly traded company … and the stock symbol … get ready for it … DJT!!! You can’t make this up either!!!

The government approval / administrative process which should have taken 3 or 4 months … took TRUTH Social nearly 2 years. No, you really can’t make this up either, and yes this is happening in America, in our Republic.

But as with most bad deed … the finalization of the technical merger to allow TRUTH Social to become a publicly traded company could not have come at a better time as he seemingly solidifies his position for the 2024 November election.

Now with public valuation data, TRUMP’s personal net worth skyrocketed by $4 BILLION sending him onto the Bloomberg 500 wealthiest list for the first time ever … and that is before the 43% stock price increase so far today on the first day of trading.

Good things happen to good people … so keep fighting folks!

SC Ethics Commission – SEI: HERE

This week we have learned how to “track” candidates (HERE) and how much it costs to file to run for office (HERE)! Today, let’s review the Candidate Filings.

Statement of Economic Interests (SEI)

The general idea of the Statement of Economic Interests is as stated, to disclose the candidate’s or elected official’s “economic” or financial interest. Read more about it HERE and in the mySCGOP article below … and have fun looking up the SEI of your favorite politicians!

Campaign Finance Disclosures
Campaign Finance Disclosures (initial, quarterly, pre-election & final) are for reporting the donations and expenditures of candidate’s campaign account. Remember – if you intend to spend any money on your campaign, you will need to open a separate campaign bank account – you cannot use your personal one!

As with any filing, there are deadlines on the Campaign Finance Disclosures that is YOUR responsibility to follow. For State and Local 

candidate campaign filings you would go to https://ethics.sc.gov/  to file while for Federal positions (US House & Senate), you would got to https://www.fec.gov/.
For more details click HERE or the mySCGOP article below.

2024 Filing Fee Schedule: HERE

As we mentioned yesterday HERE, the South Carolina filing period OPENED this past Saturday March 16th at NOON … and CLOSES on Monday April 1st at NOON and as of close of business Tuesday March 19th, 148 candidates statewide filed their paperwork to have their names on the ballot for June 11, 2024 Primary Elections! 

Now, how much does it cost to file? And how the fee is calculated? And where is the money going?

According to S.C. Code Section 7-13-40 (HERE), the filing fee for each office is one percent of the total salary for the term of that office or one hundred dollars, whichever amount is greater.

As you will notice, for those full time elected officials like solicitor, probate judges, clerk of court, sheriff, etc … the filing fees can get prohibitive for candidates. It is really something troublesome in our opinion and should be fixed. 

Now you are probably wondering, where is the money collected on all the fees, going? The money goes to the State Election Commission to compensate them for running the primary elections. It certainly does not cover the cost, if you ask us.  

Fun fact: other parties (non Republican & non Democrat) pick their candidates via conventions, etc that they pay for … so they don’t have those primary fees. But, as you all might guess, unless you are a Republican or a Democrat, there is no real chance to be elected in November.

Candidate Tracking: HERE

The South Carolina filing period OPENED this past Saturday March 16th at NOON … and CLOSES on Monday April 1st at NOON. So we are in full swing following “who” is filing … and “who” isn’t … and there are always surprises.  Yes, people “talk”, but this is where the rubber meets the road.

We wrote an article about the SC State Election Commission’s (SEC) candidate tracking system last July 12th, 2023 … but we wanted to remind everyone it exist as it is probably the hottest link on the SEC website right now.  See HERE.

Some of the local County Election offices, including Greenville County, were not open on Saturday so most candidates were not able to start filing until Monday, March 18th.  As of close of business Monday March 18th, 103 candidates statewide filed their paperwork to have their names on the ballot for June 11, 2024 Primary Elections!  

In 2020 … 516 candidates filed for office … 540 candidates in 2016.  Let’s hope we double those number this year!!!

Morgan “talks” … but won’t meet with MAGA / America FIRST GOP

YouTube: HERE

The one thing I dislike the most is hypocrites. They are really easy to identify as they say one thing, but do another. That is the case right now with my own personal SC House Rep. Jason Elliott (R-Greenville) (HERE) who is sending out mailers and Facebook ads in our district about PROTECTING girls in women’s sports … but he literally voted against it in the House Judiciary Committee. 99% of folks won’t know the truth … but we do … and we hope to inform as many people as we can about these lies.

But identifying hypocrisy is especially easy when they “preach” the conservative cause … and when they pretend to be our CHAMPION. Rep. Jason Elliott doesn’t pretend … those involved in he GOP / America FIRST movement who know Jason, know he is a RINO … so it is really just the “drive-by” voters we need to inform.

But what do you do with people like REP. ADAM MORGAN?  

Adam holds himself out as the standard bearer for conservatism in South Carolina.  He created the SC Freedom Caucus (and there is a story for later about that) … and he made himself the “Chairman”.  He makes great speeches … but like Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy … Adam is a paid actor.  It is literally his day job to dress up like a PIRATE and sing and dance.  (See HERE.)  Adam should be able to give a great speech … we expect it.

For many fighting for the America FIRST / MAGA agenda … he is looked at as our “savior”.  We want to all believe the “Freedom Caucus” is going to save us.  But is that the case???  Or are we all just falling for the next shiny object so we can go back to fooling ourselves that WE don’t have to do the work???

Those of us in the America FIRST fight here in Greenville that have been involved with Adam Morgan for years know VERY differently.  We all know him as a pro-Mike Pence, never-TRUMPER.  We know Adam ACTIVELY participated with DREW MCKISSICK in the 2021 ReOrg FRAUD (HERE) & the attempted 2023 ReOrg STEAL.  He is a darling of the RINO establishment here in Greenville … but to the rest of the state he plays “Mr. Conservative Savior”.  Heck, Adam is one of the main America FIRST “opponents” we have faced here in Greenville … even though we have beat him each time.  😉

Dig deeper friends … look for the TRUTH!!!

ADAM NOW COMES TO OUR PEOPLE’S MEETINGS?:  Last Saturday March 9th, Adam Morgan came to a Health Freedom forum on this “Health Czar” issue put on by America FIRST Patriots.  He never came to our meetings before, but he has recently.  He spoke against the Health Czar which is what the crowd wanted to hear, even though he missed the two votes against H4927 (HERE & HERE) … and his biggest backer (Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver’s Palmetto Promise Institute) is actively supporting the “Health Czar” and calling the opposition idiots.

So why would Adam now start attending Greenville America FIRST type meetings?  Simple … because he wants the America FIRST vote for his 4th District Congressional Campaign.  Ahhhh … just like all politicians … just like Lindsey!!!

ADAM’S FAUX “UNITY” TALK:  What really struck us was when Adam started talking UNITY … and working together.  Coming together and putting aside our personal differences for the greater good … to discuss policy differences.  Watch the video HERE.  Hey, we agree 1,000% … we are all for it!!!  The only problem is Adam has been saying that for over a year now in public meetings … but he has REFUSED to meet with Greenville County Republican Party leadership … REFUSED to meet with those of us that knows FACTS and HISTORY about Adam … REFUSED to meet especially me.  [The reason about refusing to meet with me being Adam pushes 100% government run private school choice … and that does not reconcile with anything “freedom”.]

How can ADAM MORGAN “fight” for us in Washington, DC (or Columbia for that matter) … when he is afraid to face little ole JEFF DAVIS???

IT GETS WORSE:  Six days later however … Adam’s friend, confidant, advisor & OFFICE MANAGER … and my RINO predecessor as Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party (until we voted his ilk out!!!) … sent out the below email.

The HATE is overflowing.  The disdain for America FIRST Patriots & MAGA  supporters is crystal clear.  But know … THIS IS ADAM MORGAN!!!  It may be purportedly written by the guy in the cube next door to Adam’s … but this is what Adam Morgan does.  It is full of lies … Adam lies A LOT … and it is all about blackballing anyone that works with America FIRST … and Adam has certainly done that!!!  Heck, if Adam’s buddy was so smart, why did the City of Greenville turn BLUE under his leadership … and why is he personally not the Greenville or SCGOP Chairman?

As the saying goes … “Winners focus on winning, and Losers focus on winners.”  We are WINNING … so losers slander us … it’s not complicated.

YOUR LESSON TO LEARN … WE MUST DO THE WORK!!!:  Friends, there is no one “savior” coming to fix all this for us … and it certainly isn’t going to be Adam Morgan.  It is also not DONALD TRUMP or Jeff Davis!!!  This is a “We The People” movement!!!  YOU are going to have to do the WORK … and the most important work you can do is to learn not to fall for the shiny object that will tell you he can fix it all … so long as you vote for him.  

Learn their tricks friends, learn their tricks!!!! 

We will have more later to back all this up … but read this email below from Adam’s office … if that was my employee I’d have just one “TRUMP” thing to say … YOU ARE FIRED!!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR …

Jeff Davis is co-founder of mySCGOP.com. Jeff is a ’89 graduate of The Citadel and in 1993 received his Law/MBA from USC. A tax attorney / CPA licensed in Georgia, Jeff is an uncompromised school choice advocate for K-12 children with special needs. Originally from Charleston, and having practiced in Atlanta, Jeff and his wife Olga now live in Greenville. Jeff completed his two year term as Greenville County Republican Party Chairman and is currently serving as GCRP State Executive Committeeman.

Jeff is also “barred” from attending the SCGOP State Executive Committee Meetings (HERE). Why? Because he dared to run against Drew McKissick for SCGOP Chairman – coming in 2nd with Drew only being reelected by 1.8% (HERE & HERE) – and in September 2021 he told the State Executive Committee that Chad Connelly had been under SLED investigation for a year and a half … and it was true (HERE & HERE).

Interestingly … Braylee Estep can attend the SCGOP State Executive Committee meetings … unlike the elected State Executive Committeeman from the largest county in South Carolina representing 12% of the entire state.
