Congrats to @krgraziano as she was sworn in as Charleston's new Sheriff. She is the 1st female sheriff AND 1st LGBT sheriff in SC history. Its terrific to see our state moving forward and I cant wait to see us make more history in the future. Best of luck! https://t.co/zVQeMRCbcY

3 years ago I decided to run for a seat in Congress that Trump won by 13 pts and hadn’t been held by a Democrat since before I was born. People said I was crazy and I’d never win.

Then we did.

What a long, strange trip it’s been.

Let’s take a look back at our journey.
