Russell Fry defeated six other candidates in the Republican primary election for South Carolina's 7th Congressional District on June 14, 2022. The two candidates who received the most media attention were incumbent Tom Rice and Fry.

Rice was first elected to the U.S. House in 2012 and had represented the district since it was created following the 2010 census. Rice was one of 10 Republican members of the U.S. House who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump (R) in 2021, which he had defended during his primary campaign. During a June 5 appearance on ABC's This Week, Rice said, "Defending the Constitution is a bedrock of the Republican platform, defend the Constitution, and that’s what I did. That was the conservative vote. There’s no question in my mind."^[1] In response to the impeachment vote, the Republican Party of South Carolina censured Rice.^[2]

Fry was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 2015. Trump endorsed Fry in February 2021.^[2] Fry had called Rice a RINO (Republican in Name Only) over his impeachment vote. Following Trump's endorsement, Fry said, "Radical Leftists, enabled by RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) like Tom Rice, are trying to erase President Trump’s legacy and move America towards socialism. We can’t let that happen."^[3]

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), former U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) endorsed Rice. In addition to Trump, eight members of the South Carolina House of Representatives endorsed Fry. To read more about the endorsements in this election, click here.

Also running in the primary were Barbara Arthur, Garrett Barton, Mark McBride, Spencer Morris, and Ken Richardson.

She was forced to stay behind with three of my siblings. Because of communism, my family was separated for twenty-three years. Today, I am happily married to my husband, Warren, of almost 24 years. We have eight children and seven grandchildren. I am a Christian women's speaker, a home educator, I will graduate my youngest this year, and a small insurance business owner. I have never run for elected office or had political ambition, but no one in this race will fight harder than I will against the socialist/communist agenda in the current administration, because for me it's personal!"

Barbara Arthur (R)

Immigration! President Trump's immigration policies worked. I will work to reenact those policies.

The current administration's socialist/communist agenda. My family was ravaged by Castro's communist regime. No one will work harder against this issue than me.

Upholding the Constitution - the law of the our land.

Garrett Barton (R)

We have many problems in our district that have been overlooked for ten years and it is time we get a true representative of the people in our seat.

We need to promote policies that put America first.

We must rebuild our main streets of the 7th district

Image of https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/SpencerMorris.jpg

Spencer Morris (R)

Energy Independence

Jobs and Economic Growth

Peace Through Strength and Border Security

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Barbara Arthur (R)

I am passionate about protecting our liberties guaranteed to us in the Constitution. In America, one of our most precious rights is our freedom of speech. Government nor big tech can impede that right. We have the freedom to believe whatever we want because American soldiers died that we may enjoy such freedom. For our own government, or media, to try to hinder the exercise of that right is to spit on the grave of our fallen heroes. My father fled a communist country with three small children, I do not want to relive that scenario again.

Garrett Barton (R)

I am passionate about policies that place the American citizen and American interest at the forefront. We will work to bring back the respect and honor our country deserves and has been torn down by radical left ideology. I will also use by medical degree to finally find real solutions to healthcare. It is a major financial strain on our economy and people are getting older and sicker as time passes.

Spencer Morris (R)

I am passionate about the three key messages of my campaign: 1) U.S. Energy Independence 2) Jobs and Economic Growth for South Carolina and the United States 3) Strong International Foreign Policy to promote stability and strength and secure borders. As a lifelong conservative, I believe in limiting the role of government in both our professional and personal lives. I am a staunch advocate for all Americans' 2nd Amendment rights.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Barbara Arthur (R)

I love Daniel from the Bible. Daniel was an extremely gifted and faithful man. I especially appreciate that excellence in his work was attributed to him. I also like the character Sam of Lord of the Rings. I'm greatly moved by his words to his friend, Mr. Frodo, "I can't carry it [the ring] for you, but I can carry you." Oh that we would all be so loyal and faithful in all we do.

Garrett Barton (R)

My parents. They worked hard to make a better life for me and my brother. Never was it acceptable to misbehave or come home with poor grades. It was instilled in me to always work hard for your goals and never expect a handout.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Spencer Morris (R)

The Dying Citizen by Victor Davis Hanson.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Barbara Arthur (R)

I believe elected U.S. officials should love America, our flag, and fight to defend our Constitution. There are more socialist in Congress today than ever before in U.S. history. There is a clear conflict of interest for a socialist serving in our American government.

Garrett Barton (R)

Honesty, integrity, and a solid listener. Many feel that this is the biggest lacking quality found in Washington.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Barbara Arthur (R)

I love our country, America, because it's the greatest country in the world. I am deeply grateful to the men and women in uniform who have given their lives to keep our country free. I want to fight to preserve the freedom they died for.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Garrett Barton (R)

To listen to your constituents, be a continual voice of the people in your district and work to better your state and country you are serving

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Barbara Arthur (R)

The Challenger explosion on January 28, 1986. I was 21 years old, almost 22. It was a horrible experience I will never forget.

Garrett Barton (R)

I remember Bob Dole being on TV for the Republican nominee. At that time it was 1996 and I was roughly 9-10 years old.

Spencer Morris (R)

The Space Shuttle Challenger explosion in January 1986. I was eight years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Barbara Arthur (R)

In the seventh grade my junior high school offered a work experience class. I was assigned to help in the office with filing. If I remember correctly, I made $74 every two weeks. I believe it was just one semester.

Garrett Barton (R)

At 14, I was a dishwasher, waiter for a mexican restaurant. Around that time I took a job hauling hay for a local farmer. These were both summer jobs.

Spencer Morris (R)

I mowed the grass of Elim United Methodist Church cemetery starting when I was approximately 12 years old up until my 2nd year in college.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Barbara Arthur (R)

That answer is easily Googled. I believe what makes U.S. Representatives unique is that we bring the taste and feel of our constituents to Washington.

Garrett Barton (R)

An opportunity to be the voice of the American people is an honor and a privilege that must be taken seriously. The decisions that are made in the house ultimately lay the groundwork for policy and law that our children and grandchildren will be living under. Also, we also have the opportunity to remove any person who does not fulfill the duty of true representation of the people every 2 years.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Barbara Arthur (R)

No, I do not believe we need more politicians in Washington. We need men and women who love America and our flag, and are willing to work hard to uphold the Constitution to save the republic which it established.

Garrett Barton (R)

No. The job entails voting in a way that reflects the desires and way of life in their district. We have had the system hijacked by career politicians that are usually lawyers that climb the ladder to pad their own retirement funds. People was really representation that cares more about their well being than the perks of office.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Barbara Arthur (R)

The greatest threats to America right now that supersedes all others is socialism and immigration.

Garrett Barton (R)

I believe we have major issues with America's security. This means border control, cybersecurity, economic stability, election integrity and energy independence.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Barbara Arthur (R)

I want to be a part of a committee where my vote will make a difference.

Garrett Barton (R)

Agriculture, Small Business, Ways and Means, Appropriations, Transportation and Infrastructure, and any healthcare policy committee that drives our nation's health.

If you are a current representative, why did you join your current committees?

Barbara Arthur (R)

N/A

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Barbara Arthur (R)

In all sincerity, no, I do not. I believe the term should be four years, serving only two terms like the president. We should not have life-long politicians - like Joe Biden and many others.

Garrett Barton (R)

I am fine with this. There are thoughts to extended the term so more work can be done and less campaigning. I am for whatever the people wish the length to be.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Garrett Barton (R)

I support term limits for congress. Would be a motivator for change. Members should be concerned and spend more time on their constituents rather than prioritizing working to get themselves re-elected. New candidates will bring fresh ideas and more voices will be heard. Congress should be limited to 6-10 years. Should not be a lifetime career.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Barbara Arthur (R)

While there are and have been good representatives, I cannot say I want to model myself after anyone. I want to be found faithful, loyal, and honest.

Garrett Barton (R)

I enjoy Tim Scott who was a house rep now senator, Jim Jordan, and Jim Banks.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Barbara Arthur (R)

A restaurant owner in Florence, SC, who desperately needs help to keep his business alive, told me he called 83 former job applicants. But no one wanted to work because they are collecting unemployment checks. Thanks for nothing Joe Biden. Your administration is destroying America.

Garrett Barton (R)

I have heard several stories about how many in our district feel forgotten. Mostly in the Pee Dee region. They have seen their family business legacy disappear due to lack of support. Our communities really want a voice of all people not just a select few.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Garrett Barton (R)

Yes. However, compromising moral beliefs is not an option. At this point in time, the radical left has shifted to socialist views that tears apart the very fabric of our nation and everything our forefathers fought for. Finding common ground on things we agree on is always a wise idea to move forward.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Barbara Arthur (R)

I will seek to reduce taxes, not increase them.

Garrett Barton (R)

The regulation of the federal budget and tax structure is arguably the most important aspect of congressional power. As a Congressman it would be my duty to give my constituents the best possible opportunity for them to create their version of the American dream. Our taxes must remain low to promote economic growth, encourage private sector spending and increase state revenues to provide for local infrastructure. As our economy and our revenue grows it is the duty of Congress to continually reassess our spending needs and cut taxes and services appropriately to create an environment for long term success.

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.^[11] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."^[12] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[16]
Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[17]^[18]^[19]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in South Carolina in 2022. Information below was calculated on May 10, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Twenty-eight candidates filed to run for South Carolina’s seven U.S. House districts, including nine Democrats and 19 Republicans. That’s four candidates per district, more than the 2.86 candidates per district in 2020 and less than the 6.14 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. South Carolina was apportioned seven districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. All incumbents ran for re-election, meaning there were no open seats this year. The only years to feature open seats between 2012 and 2022 were 2018, when the 4th district was open, and 2012, when the newly-drawn 7th district was open.

There were two contested Democratic primaries this year, the lowest number since 2016, and four contested Republican primaries, the highest number since at least 2012.

Eight candidates - one Democrat and seven Republicans, including incumbent Rep. Tom Rice (R) - filed to run in the 7th district, more than in any other. That’s three less than the highest number of candidates who ran for a seat in 2020, when five candidates ran in the 1st district. There were three districts - the 2nd, the 3rd, and the 5th - where incumbents did not face primary challengers. One district - the 3rd - was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed. No districts were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.

Presidential elections

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+11. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 11 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made South Carolina's 7th the 128th most Republican district nationally.^[27]
