US Rep. Joe Wilson (R-Springdale) serves South ?Carolina’s Second Congressional District, including Lexington County. Wednesday Wilson issued a state regarding the passing of National Radio Show Host Rush Limbaugh. This state is below:

“Roxanne and I send our prayers to the family and friends of Rush Limbaugh. Rush’s enthusiasm, intelligence, and dedicated insight for American exceptionalism into so many important issues of our time made him a major force in broadcast journalism saving thousands of radio jobs with his success for AM radio across America. We will truly miss this American icon. I was grateful to be with him last year in the Capitol as he received America’s highest recognition, the Medal of Freedom, and years ago as his driver for his visit to South Carolina for a South Carolina Policy Council dinner.”
