Myrtle Beach Leader

Russell Fry, a U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina’s 7th district, recently shared his views on various national issues through a series of tweets. Fry, who succeeded Tom Rice in 2023, has been active in Congress and previously served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2015 to 2022. Born in Surfside Beach, South Carolina, he holds degrees from the University of South Carolina and Charleston School of Law.

On March 5, 2025, Fry emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility by urging to "BALANCE THE FEDERAL BUDGET". This tweet underscores his focus on addressing federal financial management.

In another tweet posted shortly after, Fry expressed support for agricultural interests under the current administration by stating "Finally, a President who VALUES OUR FARMERS!" This reflects his acknowledgment of the farming community's significance in national policy.

Later that day, Fry contrasted past and present administrations regarding immigration policies. He remarked that "Unlike the previous administration, President Trump will never choose illegal immigrants over the lives of American citizens." This comment highlights his stance on prioritizing citizen welfare over undocumented immigration.
