Congressman Russell Fry, representing South Carolina’s 7th district since 2023, shared several updates on social media regarding developments in the Pee Dee region and notable interactions. Fry has a background in law and politics, having served in the South Carolina House of Representatives before his current congressional role.
On March 24, 2025, Congressman Fry announced that “Universal Industrial Gases is investing nearly $100 million to build a new facility in Hartsville!” He highlighted this development as positive news for the Pee Dee area amid ongoing growth in American energy.
Later that day, he commented on the University of Pennsylvania with a brief statement: “You reap what you sow, UPenn!” This remark was made without additional context or explanation.
In another post on March 24, Fry expressed enthusiasm about an appearance by Coach Shane Beamer on a sports show: “It was great to see @CoachSBeamer on the @Finebaum Show sharing about his time on Capitol Hill and the future of college athletics.” He extended an open invitation for Coach Beamer to return.
