| Collapse all
I’m just an ordinary woman who wants better for us, our kids and our grandkids.
I want better than pornographic books in our libraries to normalize pedophilia.
I want better than diversity, equity, and inclusion telling us we’re racist for wanting people hired based on merit.
I want better than being coerced to take a toxic bioweapon vaccine to “save grandma.”
I want better than kids being led to believe that changing genders is the cool thing to do.
I want better than 15 minute cities where we ‘ll own nothing and eat bugs.
I want better than illegal invaders pouring into our state to destroy our values, our opportunities and the freedoms we stand for.
I WANT BETTER FOR US. The Elites in Columbia don’t want me there. The smear campaign against me is horrific. They’re afraid of America First-Freedom Caucus Candidates who speak the truth and standup for the people. I am not their chosen candidate. I will stand up, speak out and protect you from the swamp in Columbia. VOTE BETTER. VOTE BETSY LAMB!
EARLY VOTING STARTS MAY 28TH AND ELECTION DAY IS JUNE 11TH- Diversity, equity and Inclusion are promoted by the Chamber of Commerce in SC and are not what the Civil Rights Movement fought so hard for. Martin Luther King died for his belief that people are not judged by their skin color, but by the person within. DEI is racist and will not be tolerated.
- Medical freedom to never be locked down, masked or jabbed with a bioweapon, or have effective treatments for any virus or disease be vilified or banned ever again.
- Digital Currency and a cashless society is paramount to slavery. We will not be harassed, canceled, tracked. watched or our freedoms taken from us by the government for going against the government agenda.

- I will fight to stop censorship of conservative voices by the federal government and Big Tech. We are still a free country and I aim to keep it that way.
- ESG, CRT, digital currency, mandates will not be tolerated in my state. I will promote, push, stand up and have a hissy fit until we get this stopped.
- Let me be clear. The Federal government will NEVER take SC's guns. An armed citizenry makes government nervous.
