Hi John, it’s Michael B. Moore with an exciting update. Moments ago, I officially filed paperwork to put my name on the ballot to represent SC-01 in Congress! Making this official is special to me because I’m following in the footsteps of my great-great-grandfather, Robert Smalls, who represented the Lowcountry honorably in Congress. I want to tell you a little more about this. But if you're tight on time, can I ask you to chip in any amount to support our campaign here in battleground South Carolina? My great-great-grandfather, Robert Smalls, was enslaved and grew up knowing what the total depravity of one's rights felt like. His government viewed him as property of another individual. Robert was conscripted to be a ship pilot for the Confederacy. He learned all he could about his ship and gained the trust of the Confederate captains. Robert had the audacity to use his self-taught skills to steer himself, and his Black crewmates and families to safety in the North. He later came back to South Carolina and served as Congressman for Beaufort. A lot has changed since then, but my great-great-grandfather's perseverance and grit still runs in my blood. It's helped shape me into the person I am today – and it's why I'm running for Congress to continue his legacy. Robert's story is woven into the fabric of our country. Yet, there are MAGA extremists who are working hard to ensure it never enters school curriculums. They want to erase our history and send us back decades in the fight for voting rights and reproductive freedom. It's unconscionable! My opponent, Nancy Mace, has abandoned her constituents in exchange for Donald Trump's radical agenda. The Lowcountry deserves a representative who leads with its best interests in mind and is resolved to weed out extremism in Congress. You can count on me to be that leader, but I urgently need you in this fight with me. If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: - Michael
