IT'S OFFICIAL. 🎉

Dr. Jermaine Johnson has named former Charleston Co. Dem Chair Sam Skardon as his running mate for Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina.

Sam's spent his career helping small businesses and working families get meaningful access to opportunity, and he's ready to bring that same fight to the Governor's office. This is a team built to go the distance for every South Carolinian.
Welcome to the ticket, Sam. Let's build a New SC together.

Want to make your voice heard? Vote early.

As Republicans push a rushed redistricting plan that could disrupt South Carolina’s congressional primaries, voters have the power to show up and make their voices count.

Early voting begins Tuesday, May 26 at 8:30 a.m.
Make your plan and vote early.

The more South Carolinians who vote early, the harder it becomes to silence voters and rewrite the rules in the middle of the game.

The redistricting bill has passed the House by a vote of 74-37.

For over 27 hours across 3 days of debate, Democrats fought to stop Republicans from cheating voters by redrawing congressional districts.

H. 5683 now goes to the Senate.

Republicans just silenced our voices by ramming through an unprecedented change to the rules in the middle of the game.

We are now limited to 1 amendment per representative with strict time limits in order to push through the new congressional map.

We’ll keep fighting when the debate restarts at 10:00am.
