2021, not 1921

McMaster is leaving money on the table. Team — We’ve all experienced the impact of our state’s infrastructure failures. We’ve all crossed the state line into Georgia or North Carolina and had an instantly smoother ride — the condition of our roads is dangerous, embarrassing, an…

We need your help to make a statement.

It’s about how many people contribute to our campaign. Hi friend, we’re making progress toward the grassroots donor goal we set when we learned Donald Trump Jr. would be joining Henry McMaster to campaign for his re-election, but we’re falling a little short of our target. If …

Re: Donald Trump Jr.

Donald Trump Jr. is coming to South Carolina. I wish this came as more of a surprise, team… Donald Trump Jr. announced he’s coming to South Carolina to campaign with my opponent, Governor Henry McMaster. McMaster leads in the same mold of Donald Trump — a science-denying, misi…

Donald Trump Jr. is coming to SC

Have y’all heard the news? Breaking: Donald Trump Jr. is coming to South Carolina to campaign for Henry McMaster. We wish we were more surprised, friend, but this is right out of McMaster’s playbook. He’s leveraging the Trump family to drum up support and enthusiasm from the f…

Next stop: 2022

We need to start organizing and building up the resources to win. Friends, With Election Day 2021 in the rearview, all eyes are set on next year — on races like ours. If we learned one thing from the results, it’s that Democrats need to start organizing and building up the re…

Thank you

This grassroots campaign counts on people like you. Team — thank you. We hit our October fundraising goal, keeping us on pace to build a strong campaign that can contend in 2022 and defeat Henry McMaster and his good ol’ boys. We’re not gonna keep pace with McMaster’s war che…

A scary thought

This is the scariest thing South Carolinians will hear today: Four more years of Henry McMaster... This is a truly terrifying thing to imagine for our state, and that’s why I’m running to defeat him and usher in a new era of bold, compassionate leadership that actually works f…

This was never going to be easy

McMaster has already raised $3.5 million. Team — We know we have the grassroots power to win this race. Everywhere we stop, Mia’s message is resonating with voters as she lays out her vision for a South Carolina we can all be proud of. But this race was never going to be easy —…

Here’s why I’m concerned

What we need to prove: Friends, I’m concerned. Despite fumbling the pandemic response and letting nearly 14,000 South Carolinians die without ever lifting a finger, Henry McMaster is STILL raking in campaign cash from right-wing mega donors and special interest groups. Money a…

They could have reduced COVID deaths by 40%

McMaster and the Trump administration share responsibility. Did you hear this news? The former coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx told Congress that the Trump administration could have reduced COVID deaths by 30 to 40%, but ultimately failed to take the necessary pre…

We have the power of the people

We have what McMaster doesn’t. Hey y — One thing I’ve learned on the campaign trail is that we have something that Henry McMaster doesn’t: the power of the people. Henry may be cashing in massive checks from special interests and right-wing megadonors, but it’s our campaign tha…

What we have that McMaster’s campaign doesn’t

Mia’s campaign is built on grassroots power. Team — Henry McMaster continues to rake in the cash for his re-election campaign — he’s already raised $3.5 million this year alone from his network of wealthy allies. It’s clear that McMaster is willing to raise — and spend — whate…

This is embarrassing

McMaster’s inaction is causing trouble. Team — Earlier this week, the Biden administration threatened to revoke South Carolina’s authority to handle our own workplace safety enforcement. It’s embarrassing and shameful that the federal government is ready to step in because the…

Our leaders need to step up

Want to know what’s scary?

McMaster has already raised $3.5 million this year. Friends, Another week has gone by, which means Gov. McMaster has gone another week without taking urgent action to protect our children and our communities from COVID. His refusal to lead our state forward is putting LIVES at …

It’s happening here too

Silence is killing us. Friends, South Carolina isn’t immune to the racial and criminal justice issues our country as a whole has been reckoning with recently. It’s happening here too and we have to speak up. Six years ago in North Charleston, Walter Scott, a Black man, was gun…

In the news for all the wrong reasons

SC is NOT booming, governor. Gov. Henry McMaster loves to say our state is booming, friends. But y’all want to know the truth about what South Carolina is actually “winning” in? We have one of the LOWEST vaccination rates in the country. We just broke our own record for highes…

SC deserves a leader who will take climate change seriously

The choice is simple, yet Henry McMaster continues to drag his feet on climate action… Friends, It’s hurricane season here in South Carolina, and these increasingly devastating storms and severe weather events should sound the alarm that we can’t keep ignoring the climate cris…

Why is McMaster taking "liberties" with our children's lives?

Gov. McMaster and his Republican Party “leaders” believe in personal liberty so much… they’re willing to sacrifice YOUR kids to have it. In fact, they’re threatening to defund public schools if districts even try to mandate masks. So, with all that “freedom” comes zero responsi…
