The latest report shows 92,000 jobs lost, and unemployment has risen to 4.4%. Gas prices are climbing amid instability in Iran; and rising utility costs, driven in part by AI energy demand, are hitting families hard.

The reality is simple: billionaires thrive on our labor, our spending, and our silence. It’s time to refocus our priorities - on people, not profits - and work toward an America that’s truly fair, sustainable, and strong for everyone.

The midterms are our opportunity to change course. We can choose leaders who stand up for the middle class, hold this administration accountable, and focus on rebuilding our economy - creating good, green jobs, ensuring living wages, and reducing costs for everyday essentials.

The energy at the Beaufort County Convention was incredible. I had an amazing time.
People are ready for change.
Ready for new leadership.
Ready to fight for a New American Dream where working families come first.
This movement is just getting started. πŸ”₯

I had the chance to sit down with La Isla Magazine, and answer some questions about who I am, and why I'm running; as well as my vision for what our district needs.

The Future of the Lowcountry is on the Line: Make Your Voice Heard The immigration debate unfolding in Columbia is not distant politics. It will shape the future of the Lowcountry’s workforce and public safety

Developers have lobbyists. We have people. The Lowcountry deserves leaders who protect our coasts, our kids, and our immigrant neighbors. Make your voice impossible to ignore: register, organize, and vote.

Trump’s illegal war on Iran is a moral outrage, and the three U.S. troops killed so far should never have been put in position to die for it. Honoring them means ending this war now and demanding a foreign policy rooted in justice and the value of every human life.

I attended the Immigrants Are Welcome Here interfaith vigil in Charleston last night. It was so heartening to be amongst people who truly understand the beauty of humanity, in all our various threads, and the gorgeous tapestries we can weave, when we stand together.

I had a great opportunity to spend time with our ILA local today. Unions keep our communities strong, even in anti-union SC. The ILA has defended Charleston port workers for generations, fighting for living wages, safe jobs, & real respect on the docks & across SC.

An hour and 47 minutes, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. It's time to try leadership with purpose.

Had a lovely time with members of the Hispanic Business Association of the Lowcountry, Gullah Latino Advisory Council and SC Forum, and veteran Charles Henderson from Beaufort. Together, we can build a better future for everyone in South Carolina!

Early in February, Charleston County Democratic Women held a candidate forum with all 5 candidates. This is a little clip from that, and can we just give a shoutout to Morris Brown AME church for providing the venue? Such beautiful architecture, & the energy was amazing.

Today was my grandson Elio's 2nd birthday. I spent the day with my family, and I had a wonderful time. My family is my motivation for running for Congress - I want to represent all families in the Lowcountry, hardworking parents, and the children who deserve the best start in life.

I know it's late, but I didn't want to let the day pass without acknowledging the decision of the Supreme Court today to hold the president in check. Let me know what you think in the comments!

The path to justice begins with recognition, and Jesse Jackson embodied that truth with every raised fist. I AM Somebody! From Operation Breadbasket to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, he lifted us all, and we stand on his shoulders. Rest in peace and rise in power, Jesse. We’ll take it from here.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you vote for me
South Carolina can be, too!

It's more important than ever to stand up and be counted. Find your polling place, grab a friend, & make this Valentine’s Day about long-term commitment. Political commitment, because every vote matters.

Nancy Mace voted YES on the SAVE Act requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. This will disenfranchise eligible voters who don’t have passports or matching birth certificates. Non-citizen voting is already illegal.
Voting should be secure and accessible. πŸ—³οΈ

Let’s be clear: no federal agency should be blindsiding local leaders.That’s not strength β€” that’s dysfunction.As an attorney, I believe in the rule of law. That means transparency, coordination, and respect for constitutional rights β€” not intimidation tactics that create fear in our communities.

The DCCC just named SC-01 a top target to flip in 2026β€”and Mayra Rivera-VΓ‘zquez knows how to win here.
She helped flip this seat in 2018 as a Democratic county chair, and she’s been building coalitions across the Lowcountry ever since.
Real representation matters. #SC01
