Mayra Rivera-Vazquez

We have been down this road before. Excerpts from my official statement below.

#Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #NoMoreWars

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.

East Cooper Dems came out in force on Tuesday! I’m so grateful for the support and the positive energy!

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!

I had a fabulous time today at the Meet and Greet in Sun City,
hosted by Sue Yearwood & Delois Johnson. Everyone was very kind, & had some fantastic questions about my candidacy. I love getting to know all of you through this process, thank you for coming out to see me!

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. 🗳️

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

The DCCC just named SC-01 a top target to flip in 2026—and Mayra Rivera-Vázquez 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

Today, ICE and DHS went before Congress to defend mass deportations. In SC-01, families shouldn’t live in fear of being torn apart by political theater. We need real border security and a humane immigration policy rooted in dignity. #SC01 #Immigration #MayraForCongress #Mayra4Congress

🗣️

Reporters stop asking James Carville what he thinks about anything in politics challenge. He hasn't run a winning presidential campaign since before the internet. He got his start in politics on Pangaea.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

💪🏽 Unions built the middle class — and they still matter today.

In South Carolina, workers deserve fair pay, safe workplaces, and dignity on the job. Mayra explains why standing with unions means standing with working families.

Congress just passed a 2-week funding extension for DHS.
Fourteen days. No excuses.

In that time, Congress must:
• Reassert oversight
• Protect due process and human dignity
• End crisis governing
• Pass a real, responsible budget

Temporary funding runs out fast.
Leadership starts now.

Episode 3 of Campaign Trail Truths dives into something deeply Lowcountry.

Mayra talks about the shared history, resilience, and cultural strength of Gullah Geechee and Latino communities — communities shaped by survival, tradition, and the fight to be seen and heard.
