A lifelong South Carolinian and Rock Hill native, Norman graduated from Presbyterian College with a degree in business before building a career in commercial real estate and development. Before being elected to Congress, he served for 11 years in the South Carolina House of Representatives. In Washington, he currently serves on the House Financial Services, Budget, and Rules Committees.

Congressman Ralph Norman returns to Brew & Chew for a candid conversation with local veterans about South Carolina, Washington, and the issues he believes will shape the months ahead. He shares his thoughts on his run for the U.S. Senate, election integrity, government spending, immigration, and the direction of the country. Veteran advocacy is also an important part of the conversation, as members discuss their experiences with VA benefits and health care and Norman talks about how his office can help veterans navigate problems and get answers. He also reflects on public service, protecting freedom, and the importance of citizens staying engaged in their communities and government.
