WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement.

“I’ve been a close friend of Mark and Jenny since our election to Congress in 1994. Like all of their friends, I want the best for their family and hope they can repair the damage. I will provide any personal support I can.

“Jenny and Mark have four wonderful boys. The Sanford family needs time and space to work through their challenges. I hope they are afforded that opportunity.

“As for the future, I hope Mark will reconcile with his family and can continue serving as our state's governor.”
