The Young Democrats of Spartanburg County

The upset nature of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social win was inspiring. Last February he was polling at 1%.

“I know he was counted out,” said McClain. "Being a young Black woman in the South, in a district that has been red for over 30 years, a lot of people are also counting us out here.” #McClainForSC

Like Mamdani, McClain hopes to strengthen voter turnout. His campaign boosted voter registration in demographics that typically vote in lesser numbers.

“I want to tackle rural areas and knock on those doors and speak to people who have never been spoken to before,” McClain said

Me and all of the other progressives running, especially those that're Gen Z, we're all up against titans within our own races,” said Courtney McClain (mcclainforsc.com), a 24-year-old running to unseat Rep. William Timmons in a deep-red #SouthCarolina district. #SCpol thehill.com/homenews/cam...
