Preserving A Legacy

April 7, 2023

Dear Friend,

Welcome back to my Week in Review newsletter. Please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube for regular updates on how I am serving the people of South Carolina!

Preserving a Legacy

The Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island has a longstanding legacy in Beaufort County. Every year, thousands of Marines are made on Parris Island, making it a critical fixture for our state and our national defense.

Last week, I joined Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in re-introducing legislation prohibiting the use of federal funds to close Parris Island.

Making Healthcare Manageable

Under Democrat rule, reckless spending has made it difficult for Americans to get by. Historic inflation has caused everyday items' costs to skyrocket, including health care. When will enough be enough?

I joined Senator Marco Rubio (R - Fla.) and U.S. Congressman Jake LaTurner (R-Kansas) in introducing the Health Savings Act, which would simplify and expand Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). These health care accounts allow Americans to save on medical costs through tax-deductible contributions. Our proposal gives hardworking Americans the necessary tools to manage the cost of their health care.

Fostering Financial Freedom

Financial literacy and the American dream are inseparable. It has never been easier for Americans to invest in healthy relationships with their financial institutions through online banking. Our digital economy offers an incredible opportunity to access financial resources. April is Financial Literacy Month, so let’s start conversations about financial education and make financial freedom accessible for all.

The #SCSweetTea on Greenville

South Carolinians know the Palmetto State is a special place to call home, and now, the rest of the country is catching on! Travel and Leisure highlighted Greenville’s affordability and beauty, naming it as one of the top cities in our nation. I am proud to celebrate our upstate - it is truly brimming with growth and opportunity! How sweet is that? #SCSweetTea

Sheriff Diggs Officially Becomes the Republican Nominee

Sheriff (Ret.) Danny Diggs Becomes the Republican Nominee for the 24th Senate District

I would like to thank the residents of the 24th Senate District for putting their faith in me and nominating me as the Republican Candidate for the State Senate. Last year, when I announced my candidacy, I knew the Commonwealth I love needed leaders in Richmond who were ready to get to work.

Since Governor Youngkin was sworn into office, Democrats in Richmond have stood in the way and blocked every meaningful effort to reverse the dangerous soft on crime pieces of legislation they passed since they took power. It is time for a change, and my opponent, Monty Mason, has been on the wrong side of every consequential issue.

My opponent has opposed legislation that would allow drug dealers to be charged with felony homicide if they sold drugs that result in an overdose. He has refused to investigate the parole board for any wrongdoing and he even patroned the bill that allowed students to commit crimes in schools and have that information go unreported to the police. It is not just misguided politics, it is downright dangerous to continue these failed policies.

We need a change, and we need it now. As a lifelong resident of the Commonwealth, I know the challenges facing our community, and I am committed to finding practical solutions that benefit everyone. As your next State Senator, I will work to make your family safer, not coddle violent criminals. I will fight to lower our tax burden and lower our healthcare costs. Please consider joining me in this fight and contribute to my campaign by clicking here. It will be a tough fight, but one we need to win.

Thank you for putting your faith in me and making me your nominee. I will not let you down.

Sincerely,

Sheriff (Ret.) Danny Diggs

what MSNBC said about Ron DeSantis

Diane, MSNBC called Ron DeSantis "a far more dangerous politician than Donald Trump." It's not hard to see why.

His takeover of Florida's redistricting process was unprecedented and ruthless – his map eliminated two districts that sent Black representatives to Congress and all but guaranteed a Republican House majority.

His attacks on LGBTQ youth, women, and Black Americans have been beyond the pale.

Ron DeSantis has made it clear that when it comes to using any means necessary to advance his far-right agenda, he's just getting started:

You ain't seen nothing yet. – Ron DeSantis, March 7, 2023

Hold anti-democracy politicians like Ron DeSantis accountable: Donate to the NDRC

Thanks in large part to years of GOP gerrymandering, Republicans hold a supermajority in the Florida legislature. Now, they plan to use their power to implement every right-wing priority on Ron DeSantis' wish list, including:

❌ Banning abortion statewide
❌ Eliminating gun restrictions
❌ Expanding "Don't Say Gay" and "Don't Say They" legislation in schools
❌ Outlawing healthcare for transgender youth

…and more.

Here's the worst part: According to recent reports, Ron DeSantis has already told his closest confidants that he plans to run for president – and he's leading in polls.

Ron DeSantis and politicians like him must be held accountable now. That's why the NDRC is working across the country to defeat gerrymandering Republicans and replace them with Democrats who will defend our democracy. Will you donate now to support our work nationwide?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Sheriff (Ret.) Danny Diggs Submits Petitions for Candidacy.

I am humbled by the tremendous amount of support that I have received from my community over the past few months. Today, I have submitted the number of signatures and petitions necessary to have my name placed on the ballot for State Senator. After weeks of door-knocking and going out into the community to speak and meet with the hardworking men and women of the 24th Senate District, I was able to submit hundreds of signatures. It is clear that Virginians are ready for change!

Since Governor Youngkin was elected, Democrats in the State Senate have stood in the way of commonsense legislation to help lower our taxes, protect our children, and make Virginia a place where we feel comfortable raising a family again.

On November 7th, there will be a "new sheriff in town," and as your State Senator,

I will fight tooth and nail to reverse the dangerous anti-safety and anti-police bills that have made our communities less safe.
I will fight to have our parents' voices heard in our schools and stand up for our children.
I will fight to help make our healthcare more affordable.
I will fight to end the regressive grocery and gas tax and allow hard-working Virginians to keep money in their pockets.

It has been hard work so far, but I have only just begun! Even though I have gotten all of the signatures I need, that won't stop me. It is my goal to speak to every voter possible. So hopefully, you will be seeing me at your doorsteps soon! However, I cannot do this alone, and any support you can give will help me fight the PAC money that is funding my opponent.

Thank you for placing your faith in me. Together, we can take this district back and put Virginia back on the right track!

Sheriff (Ret.) J. D. "Danny" Diggs
