The 2002 United States Senate election in South Carolina was held on November 5, 2002. Longtime Republican incumbent Strom Thurmond decided to retire at the age of 100, becoming the first centenarian to ever serve in Congress. At that time, Thurmond was the longest serving Senator in U.S. history, but his record was later surpassed by West Virginia's Robert Byrd. Representative Lindsey Graham won the open seat, becoming the first non-incumbent Republican Senator from South Carolina since Reconstruction, as Thurmond had been elected as a Democrat, but switched parties in 1964. This was the first open Senate election in South Carolina since 1966. Thurmond died at age 100 on June 26, 2003, a little under six months after leaving the Senate.
