Graham Nordone fights DEI accusations in work for agency that helps the blind

Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC), who is campaigning in a special Senate primary this week after succeeding her late brother, is battling one of her opponents’ accusations that she pushed diversity, equity, and inclusion while leading a South Carolina agency that helps blind people.

Before taking the place of Lindsey Graham last month, Graham Nordone was the head of South Carolina’s Commission for the Blind. The state agency focuses on employment and vocational training for people who are blind or have low vision.
