[Jermaine Johnson 🇺🇸 @Dr_JLJohnson]

It's official. 🏛️ Dr. Jermaine Johnson has chosen his running mate, former Charleston Co. Dem Chair Sam Skardon is our next Lieutenant Governor. This is a team built to go the distance for South Carolina. #NewSC #JohnsonforGovernor #DrJermaineJohnson #SamSkardon #SCGov

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for justice. Let us reflect, remember, and recommit to building a more equitable future for all. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #BlackHistory

[Rep. JA Moore @jamooreforsc]

This day will always be the defining moment of my life. Over the years, I have tried to properly express what this day did to my family, my community, and our country. However, I have fallen short. Neither words nor actions can adequately address the pain and suffering we experienced — along with the embrace from loved ones and strangers in the aftermath. So today I choose to remember this rainbow from 2016, a year after that horrific tragedy happened and took my sister, Myra Thompson, from us. May God's eternal grace be with us now and forever.

🚨 ICYMI 🚨

Today is the last day of early voting in South Carolina’s Democratic primary!

Head to https://t.co/IbRc1IxuAx to locate your polling place and make a plan to go vote before 5 p.m. today. There’s still an opportunity to cast your ballot before Election Day arrives.

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

South Carolinians deserve to have their voices heard!

Early voting begins May 26 at 8:30 a.m. Be ready to vote before Republicans try to rewrite the rules and cancel congressional primaries. #scpol #scdems #VoteEarly

[SC House Democrats @SCHouseDems]

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.

[SC House Democrats @SCHouseDems]

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.

[Justin Bamberg, Esq. @JustinBamberg]

Out of the night that covers me… The time has come for elected officials and the public to PICK A SIDE. Democracy or no democracy. Choose wisely. 🇺🇸

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

Republicans are pushing a mid-election redistricting plan that could cost SC taxpayers millions of dollars. Even election officials admit they still don’t know the full price tag. South Carolinians deserve better than reckless games played with taxpayer money. @SCHouseDems

[State Rep. Kambrell Garvin @Kambrell]

🚨SC Redistricting Alert🚨

Following adjournment of this morning’s Judiciary Subcommittee hearing, members of the public peacefully demonstrated.

Despite near-unanimous public objection to MAGA Republican redistricting efforts, the committee advanced the bill 3–2.

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

Rep. Spencer Wetmore is speaking out against Republican efforts to redraw South Carolina’s congressional map mid-cycle.

Voters deserve transparency and fair representation, not political maneuvering to rig the game in the middle of an election year. @RepWetmore @SCHouseDems

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

SC House Democrats are standing with our farmers and making it clear why it matters for every South Carolinian.

From our economy to our food supply, this is about protecting what keeps our state moving and making sure every South Carolinian is paying attention. @SCHouseDems

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

124 House Seats! Every State House seat is contested. Every statewide race has a Democratic candidate. The most offices contested by Democrats in modern history. We’re building the team to flip the future. #scdems #scpol #VoteBlue

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

We’re just 6 seats away from breaking the Republican supermajority in SC.

Rep. Hamilton Grant is calling on Democrats across South Carolina to step up, run for office, and be a game-changer.

You don’t have to be a politician; you just have to care. #scdems @GrantForSC

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

Rep. Wendell Gilliard is encouraging folks to step up and run for office.

Candidate filing closes March 30 at noon; we need strong Democrats in every race. Let’s stand together and win. #SCDems #SCPol @WendellGilliar2

[South Carolina Democratic Party @scdp]

Rep. Roger Kirby and Rep. Courtney Waters talk about the impact of Republicans’ supermajority and what it means for South Carolinians.

Candidate filing is open now through noon on March 30. See who’s filed on our tracker below.

[Rep. JA Moore @jamooreforsc]

I still don’t understand what this guy was talking about 😕

[SC House Democrats @SCHouseDems]

Democrats worked hard to pass a state budget that invests in the people of South Carolina. Watch Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter highlight a few big wins this week at the State House:

✅ Raised pay for state employees + teachers
✅ Invested in infrastructure like roads, water + sewer
✅ Stopped radical attempts to defund public schools + state agencies

We’ll keep fighting to make life more affordable for working families. Stay tuned!

[SC House Democrats @SCHouseDems]

🚨 H. 4216 Republican Tax Raise 🚨

Republicans just voted to raise state income taxes for thousands of South Carolinians.

Democrats support lowering taxes, but not at the expense of raising taxes on working families.

[SC House Democrats @SCHouseDems]

Defund Clemson? Republican extremists tried to cut funding for public colleges like Clemson and the College of Charleston today.

Their amendments were rejected — but the fight to keep our schools open and lower tuition costs continues.
