What is a caring conservative?

A Caring Conservative is someone who listens to the voice of the people, always speaking up for conservative principles, fighting for our children, families and senior citizens — and winning.

It means being a strong, independent, experienced and effective leader, who stands up for conservative values in the South Carolina Senate.

And it means rising above partisan politics and working across party lines as a reform-minded leader to get things done and make a real difference.

Nikki Setzler's actions, experience and leadership speak for themselves. He has never let us down. He's exactly the kind of caring conservative we need working for us in the South Carolina Senate.
