Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Mark Lynch is a native South Carolinian, businessman, and conservative outsider running for the United States Senate to put South Carolina and America First. As president of Jeff Lynch Appliance Center, Mark helped grow a family business, create jobs, meet payroll, and serve his community with the kind of real-world accountability Washington is missing.

Mark is a man of faith, a husband, father, grandfather, and longtime community leader who believes public service should be about protecting the people, not preserving a political career. For decades, he has counseled and ministered to people in recovery, helping thousands find hope, discipline, and a better path forward.

Mark is running to secure the border, defend the Constitution, protect Social Security and Medicare for American seniors, stop reckless spending, end endless foreign entanglements, and restore conservative leadership that actually delivers. South Carolina deserves a senator who answers to the people, not the Washington establishment.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am personally passionate about protecting life and supporting small businesses.

My faith teaches me that every life is precious, and that conviction guides my view of public service.

My experience in business has shown me that small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They create jobs, support families, and give people the opportunity to build a better future through hard work, responsibility, and freedom.

A resident of Spartanburg County, Mark Lynch and Sarah, his wife of 32 years, have lived, worked, and worshiped in the Upstate all their lives. They raised their son and daughter here. Mark attended Wade Hampton High School and the University of South Carolina. After college, Mark went straight to work at Jeff Lynch Appliances, a small retail business started by his father.

At age 25, Mark formed a buy-sell agreement to buy the business. Through a lot of hard work and careful planning, Mark has been able to grow that one small store with a couple of employees into a multi-million dollar business, employing over a hundred people, and competing with major national chain "big-box" stores.

But it was not easy. Over the last 36 years the business has faced many challenges, but it has been successful because Mark and his leadership team have paid close attention to meeting their customers' needs and keeping a careful eye on the bottom line which helped the business not only survive but also thrive even during the economic crisis of 2008. More importantly, Mark credits his success to realizing at an early age that God is the owner of all things and the importance of trusting all things to Him.

The Lynches are active members of Fellowship Greenville (formerly Southside Baptist) and he and Sarah are actively involved in crisis recovery ministries, as well as missionary efforts right here in our community and around the glob
