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.
No, we don’t encourage “betting” … but we do encourage following the BETTING ODDS (aka “Predication Markets”). Polls can be easily manipulated … and these prediction markets can be as well … but when people have to put their money where their mouth is, it is a lot harder to fake.
We love studying these elections … the data, the momentum, the candidate’s personal pros/cons, the donors and the dark money really controlling candidates … the CONSULTANTS … it’s all fascinating.
As we teach, NOTHING is what it seems in politics.
This SC Governor’s campaign will be one to study. The “autopsy” will be amazing. We expect the “Powers that Be“ will start listening to the MAGA / America FIRST grassroots in the future … but we will find out for sure if there are lessons to learn next Tuesday.

As Patriots, we love our country and deeply care about the future of our great Palmetto State. Proverbs 22:29 offers a timely reminder of what truly matters this election season: “Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.”
True leadership is not about the loudest voice, empty promises, or political games, it is about competence, integrity, and selfless service.
We seek leaders who communicate clearly and honestly with the people they serve. Leaders who demonstrate a genuine willingness to serve every South Carolinian – not just special interests or party insiders. Leaders who prioritize doing what is right for our state over political ambition, and who embrace transparency so citizens can see how decisions are made and where their tax dollars go.
Runoff Election Day is Tuesday, June 23rd – GO VOTE!!!
“Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people”
Proverbs 22:29
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as we approach the South Carolina primaries this coming Tuesday, we can take pride in the hard work behind us – doors knocked, voters informed, and values defended.

As we approach the South Carolina primaries this coming Tuesday, we can take pride in the hard work behind us – doors knocked, voters informed, and values defended. We are running hard to the finish line, and we match our work with our faith. This morning, remember James 1:5: God gives wisdom generously to those who ask. Let’s seek His guidance as we prepare for Tuesday.
Join us in prayer:
–> For wisdom for every voter to choose leaders of integrity and courage.
–> For truth to prevail over lies, manipulation, and political corruption.
–> For gratitude for the freedom to vote and be heard.
We will keep working, keep pushing, and ultimately, trust the results to Him.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
James 1:5
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), with only one week left until the primary elections, patriots must block out the frantic noise and emotional manipulation of the campaign trail by anchoring their decisions in the wisdom of Jeremiah 6:16.
