Congressman Russell Fry, serving as the U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 7th district since 2023, has made several announcements and expressed his views on current affairs through a series of recent tweets. Fry, who succeeded Tom Rice and has a background in law, continues to engage with his constituents through social media.
On March 25, 2025, Fry encouraged high school artists from South Carolina’s Seventh District to participate in this year’s Congressional Art Competition. He stated, “Calling all high school artists across South Carolina’s Seventh — it’s time for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition! Each year, high school students across the country have the opportunity to be recognized for their artistic talent. The winner of each district’s art”.
In a tweet from March 26, 2025, Congressman Fry expressed support for President Donald J. Trump, claiming Trump is rectifying issues caused by Democrats. Fry wrote, “President Donald J. Trump is leading this country out of the MESS created by Democrats and the rest of the world knows it! There is a resounding sense of optimism surrounding @POTUS’s America First Agenda and I can’t wait to continue delivering results for the American people.”.
On the same day, Fry commented on a recent discourse about online safety for children, which he felt had been derailed by discussions about the FTC. The Congressman remarked, “Democrats treat everything like open mic night. I came to talk about kids’ safety online—they rambled about the FTC. If you want to rant, hold a press conference.”
