Myrtle Beach Leader

Congressman Russell Fry, currently serving South Carolina's 7th district, recently shared a series of tweets addressing key issues in American policy and governance. Elected to the U.S. Congress in 2023 after replacing Tom Rice, Fry has a background in law and previously served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2015 to 2022.

On March 12, 2025, Congressman Fry expressed gratitude towards Lee Zeldin for his support in efforts toward deregulation. "Deregulation for the win! Thank you @epaleezeldin for supporting American citizens and paving the way for the Great American Comeback."

Later that day, Fry discussed liability shields for universities concerning student-athletes. He emphasized that "Liability shields are integral for universities to preserve opportunities for their student-athletes and continue the tradition of college sports." He further argued against granting employee status to student-athletes as it would "sacrifice their benefits and tarnish the spirit of collegiate athletics."

On March 13, 2025, Fry announced the progress of his legislative initiative aimed at protecting high-ranking officials from political prosecutions. He stated that his act had successfully passed through a significant hurdle with the Judiciary GOP's approval: "My Promptly Ending Political Prosecutions and Executive Retaliation Act ensures Presidents, VPs, and U.S. officials aren’t targeted by political prosecutions."
