With precious few days remaining between now and the election, I want to encourage you to believe. We have heard the closing arguments from both candidates. They have shared with us their contrasting visions for this country, and it’s clear that Kamala Harris believes in this country and the people in it, while Donald Trump…
We have all heard, by now, the concept of “sane washing”, as it pertains to the former president. This is a unique phenomenon, whereby the mainstream media condenses and cleans up statements by Trump to make them appear more coherent and less rambling than they are, presenting a more palatable version of the former president…

As Election Day approaches, there are countless reasons to vote for Kamala Harris for president. Here are just three critical issues that show the stark contrast between her and her opponent.
I’ve been in South Carolina only a short amount of time, just over a year. Politically, I knew there was a hard-leaning Republican base here, but I also knew I could not be the only Democrat moving into or living in Horry County. Since getting involved as a volunteer for the Horry County Democratic Party…
We have arrived at an interesting point in the 2024 election. The highly anticipated prime-time events largely concluded with the Vice-Presidential Debate, and now the campaigns are settling in for the race to the finish. I believe an honest assessment of this race shows that while you'd rather be Kamala Harris right now, the margins…

When you read the biographies of both of these candidates for US Congress District 7 you will see and feel the differences they bring to their campaigns.
Both are seeking your vote, BUT... Russell Fry did NOTHING to help SC in his first two years. Even the Loris Post Office that he made a big deal,…
I was listening to a podcast recently, and my ears perked up when they played a clip of Joe Rogan offering praise for the Harris-Walz campaign. He detailed how the campaign has taken off since the switch to Harris, and, appropriately, gave her credit for a debate win. Well, he praised her “handlers”, which was…
This is an election cycle that is unique in many ways, but what has been made clear is that the American people want change. We are exhausted from eight long years of hate, fear mongering, othering, and divisiveness. Kamala Harris has positioned herself, uniquely, as the agent for change in this election. She has positioned…
This is a special message for all voters in South Carolina. VP Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz are working tirelessly to transcend the extreme political polarization that has defined the most recent election cycles. Their engagements with moderate Republicans and Independents exemplify their shared commitment to addressing the needs of all Americans, and not…
In June 2024, most of us were worried about Biden. We love Joe – he’s done excellent work as President. Most of his work is the simple, boring work of politics – of any job. The less you know about something, and it works anyway – that’s what we want. But for those of us…
It’s no surprise, then, that polled voters rank healthcare high up on their list of concerns. The presidential candidates addressed some of the issues in their recent debate.

As we approach the 2024 election, two significant conservative agendas are taking center stage: Project 2025, created by the Heritage Foundation, and Agenda 47, the manifesto of former President Donald Trump. Both represent a concerted effort by the Republican Party to reshape the U.S. government and society in ways that many view as extreme and…
In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden has announced his decision to withdraw from the race for the 2024 Presidential election.
Monday, June 24 marks the two year anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision by the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, and many states across the nation have created new abortion restrictions and bans, creating a network of fear for women who need help and doctors who are afraid to provide that help…
