This was not a controversial vote. The censure motion easily passed 49 to 2 by the LCRP Executive Committee representing local precincts from all across Lexington County.
“The LCRP members presented a wide body of evidence and voted to censure Sen. Shealy,” Godwin said in a statement. “Being pro-life is a bare minimum expectation for Republican legislators in Lexington County and Sen. Shealy has unfortunately failed that test very outwardly.”
“It was clever and cute, if you are in to self promotion, but that 15 minutes of fame in the national spotlight must have been encouraging because yesterday they did it again, this time voting against a 6 week fetal heartbeat bill!” … [CONTINUE READING]
Censure: A formal statement of disapproval by someone’s political party. While a censure doesn’t remove someone from office, it can make it more difficult to gain support during elections.
What will the SCGOP Do Now?
The real question is what will the SCGOP State Executive Committee & narrowly re-elected (HERE) Chairman Drew McKissick do now?
D-Day … Saturday, June 17th: The next SCGOP State Executive Committee statewide quarterly meeting will be held on Saturday June 17th. All resolutions & censures are due to the SCGOP by Friday June 9th at noon for consideration at the meeting.
This will be the first meeting of the “new” SCGOP State Executive Committee since the 2023 Precinct ReOrg this past March, April & May. Although there are a lot of new county leaders from all across South Carolina on the SCGOP State Executive Committee … leadership under Chairman Drew McKissick still “controls” the body … so what will he do?
Will the Katrina Shealy censure motion be brought up for consideration by the entire SCGOP State Executive Committee on June 17th?
Or, will the SCGOP leadership “bury” the censure motion as they have before on so many other baseline Republican Platform resolutions and censure motions submitted previously?
This June 17th meeting, and how the Senator Katrina Shealy censure is handled, will determine the tone and direction of the SCGOP over the next two year term.
As we gather our hearts and minds this Lord’s Day, I pray Romans 15:13 over each of you:
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.“
Romans 15:13
May His joy strengthen you, His peace guard you, and His hope overflow in your spirit as we continue standing firm for faith, family, and freedom here in South Carolina. Have a blessed and renewed day!
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), Our founders looked to Scripture to define liberty. Two hundred and fifty years later, our calling as patriots is to preserve that hard-won freedom, pass it to the next generation, and give thanks to God for sustaining our land through five eras of Jubilee.

Friends, we have been running a weekly Coffee & Politics Meeting out of our Greenville Headquarters for nearly 5 years now … and it has been a huge hit. It is how we communicate our vision and #Mission to or local Volunteers and Community … and it one way we RECRUIT more people to the MAGA America First movement.
Our founders looked to Scripture to define liberty. Two hundred and fifty years later, our calling as patriots is to preserve that hard-won freedom, pass it to the next generation, and give thanks to God for sustaining our land through five eras of Jubilee.
History reminds us that liberty is never self-sustaining. It requires the vigilant hearts of people who love truth and honor God. What a profound blessing it is to share this historic milestone with fellow believers and patriots who still cherish these foundational truths.
This Sunday, as we reflect on the immense sacrifices made to secure our rights, let us lift up our families, our state, and our nation in prayer. May God continue to grant us wisdom, pour out His grace upon our land, and find us faithful stewards of the incredible inheritance we celebrate today.
“Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you…“
Leviticus 25:10
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as we reflect on our journey together across South Carolina, we are frequently reminded that defending our values requires not just strength, but steadfast character. We often encounter individuals and environments filled with hostility, bitterness, or ugly behavior meant to provoke and divide us.

As we reflect on our journey together across South Carolina, we are frequently reminded that defending our values requires not just strength, but steadfast character. We often encounter individuals and environments filled with hostility, bitterness, or ugly behavior meant to provoke and divide us.
But true patriotism is defined by how we respond in those moments. Instead of matching anger with anger, we are called to take the high road.
Scripture gives us a powerful blueprint for this in Romans 12:20-21: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
When we choose to remain exceptionally kind, welcoming, and gracious in the face of animosity, we don’t show weakness, we show the ultimate strength. Responding with goodness disrupts the plans of those who wish to see us fail, disarming them entirely.
Thank you for continually representing our movement with dignity, grace, and unshakable faith. Let us never be overcome by the negativity around us, but instead continue to conquer evil by doing good.
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.“
Romans 12:20-21
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), Tuesday brings the runoff elections, and many of us are heading to the polls without great enthusiasm. The choices feel limited and imperfect at best. Even so, let us hold fast to this truth: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” – Romans 8:18.
