In my latest op-ed, I reflect on how the recent federal government shutdown exposed the same fault lines we saw during the pandemic — how some may prosper, far too many are still struggling. Here are some solutions. www.lowcountrypanorama.com/eedition/pag...

Don’t complain, go vote!

Charleston’s growth brings opportunity — but also a responsibility. In my latest op-ed, I discuss how progress must include those historically left behind — the marginalized, under-resourced, and long-impoverished communities that helped build the Lowcountry. Link in the bio.

Remembering the victims, survivors, their families, & the Mother Emanuel AME Church family on the 10th anniversary of the massacre. Keep their living example of faith and forgiveness in your hearts and may hearts and minds change to close the Charleston loophole to save lives 🙏🏾

Rather than having a military parade, the money spent could best go towards increasing and improving military base housing, not cutting VA healthcare services, and preventing service members from receiving SNAP benefits. It’s about putting America first right…

I voted to adopt the @democrats.org credentials committee resolution & grant the challenge to proceed as the rules & bylaws committee outlined in order for us to have a new election for the two Vice Chair positions. This is based on the challenge that came before us in Feb, nothing more.

I’ve had the good fortune to interact with Gov. Tim Walz and Gov. Wes Moore previously. They are the same in private as they are in public. These fellow veterans are genuine public servants. Minnesota and Maryland are blessed to have them and South Carolina looks forward to seeing them more.

Congratulations and condolences to the new SCDP officers. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. The hard work continues, but they are all in to do the work. Consider being an active supporter of SCDP and your local party rather than criticize from the sideline.

Motivated by Senator Booker’s leadership, focus, stamina, and determination. He is a genuine person and very happy to see him take center stage.

A great tribute to ⁦‪@jaimeharrison.bsky.social‬⁩ for his service as DNC Chair. The work continues. He’s not done and I’m glad to be in the foxhole with you.

These Senators are on the fence about voting NO on the continual resolution: Elissa Slotkin (MI), Gary Peters (MI), Jacky Rosen (NV), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Maggie Hassan (NH), Jon Ossoff (GA) Call (202) 224-3121 to ask them to move off the fence.

Always a great time at the SC National Guard Association conference.
