Jaime Harrison has been an outspoken champion of reproductive freedom. He will truly fight for women and families. https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article237374124.html
Harrison says he wants to address climate change and ban offshore drilling. "We need to protect this community from rising sea levels and more frequent flooding that puts homes and storefronts at risk". https://www.wbtw.com/news/elections/sen-lindsey-graham-jaime-harrison-u-s-house-candidates-speak-to-south-strand-voters-virtually/
Harrison said, "We are trying to be above politics because we have issues here that are not political issues...They are issues that Democrats and Republicans, poor and rich, black and white are all struggling with and dealing with on a day to day basis." https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-challenger-jaime-harrison-promises-new-south-close-senate-race-1509346
Harrison values non-partisanship. He will go across the aisle to work for ALL of SC citizens. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/opinion/2020/08/21/senate-candidate-harrison-down-earth-knows-issues/3399240001/
"We are about to close the chapter on the old South and start a whole brand new book that I call the new South...A new South that is bold, that is inclusive, that is diverse." - @harrisonjaime https://www.axios.com/south-carolina-jaime-harrison-lindsey-graham-81344227-5f4f-4e02-a682-55e662ba8133.html
Harrison said, "My Rural Hope Agenda is focused on revitalizing rural infrastructure, fighting for better healthcare statewide, and creating good-paying jobs that spark economic growth." https://jaimeharrison.com/issues/rural-hope-agenda/
Harrison believes Graham’s role as Trump’s most shameless sycophant in Congress has alienated the senator from the needs of his constituents, who have long lacked the kind of hands-on attention they deserve from their representatives. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/jaime-harrison-south-carolina-senate-lindsey-graham-interview-1055834/
When asked about current immigration policy, Harrison said America is a good country, a moral country, and that we need to act like it. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/opinion/2020/08/21/senate-candidate-harrison-down-earth-knows-issues/3399240001/
Harrison noted on the GOP police reform bill, “It doesn’t go far enough. You’ve got to ban chokeholds. You have to address the issue of qualified immunity,….militarization of our police force...a national use-of-force standard. We have to end cash bail.” https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/504619-jaime-harrison-gop-police-reform-bill-doesnt-go-far-enough
Harrison said, "I've been very clear since day one, that I'm opposed to any effort to defund the police...but at the same time I am eyes wide open that there needs to be massive changes to how we do policing in this country". https://www.wistv.com/2020/08/25/i-have-been-consistent-graham-harrison-attack-each-other-over-who-is-more-touch-with-south-carolinians/
Harrison estimates that roughly 250,000 South Carolinians don’t have healthcare, in part because, he says, Graham chose to reject Medicaid expansion under Obamacare.

Harrison encouraged voter registration drives to continue, especially in the African American community. "There are almost 400,000 unregistered African Americans in South Carolina." https://www.goupstate.com/news/20191213/jaime-harrison-makes-pitch-for-change-in-washington-at-wadersquos-in-spartanburg
"I think we should legalize, regulate and tax marijuana like we do alcohol and tobacco. There is simply no medical reason to lock people up over this issue. In essence, this is about common sense. However, it’s also about criminal justice." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/jaime-harrison-on-young-voters-and-battling-trump-ally-lindsey-graham.html?__source=androidappshare
Harrison is set to unveil his "Rural Hope Agenda" at a farm in Rowesville. In a press release, his campaign described the agenda as "a comprehensive plan to revitalize rural communities throughout South Carolina." https://abcnews4.com/news/lowcountry-and-state-politics/harrison-visiting-orangeburg-co-farm-unveiling-rural-hope-agenda
