The chef's kiss will be Lacore voting to give Hegseth the boot.

Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore defied the odds, winning the race for South Carolina’s First Congressional District. Lacore was fired by Pete Hegseth without cause after 35 years of service to our country. She could have retired, but Lacore wasn’t ready to stop serving. Now she’ll represent South Carolina in Congress, and VoteVets is proud to have had her back.

In 2025, I sat down with @kenmartin73 while he was running for DNC Chair and told him there was real opportunity in SC and The South if the national party was willing to invest in us again.

He didn’t need much convincing.

Last night proved the opportunity is real.

Southern Democrats can win when speak plainly, build the big tent and have support from the top.

Lets keep the momentum going!

“The South got something to say.” – Andre 3000

Nearly 30 years after South Carolina last elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate, Dr. Annie Andrews did what almost nobody thought was possible. I’m still processing it.

But the lesson from last night is bigger than one race. People are exhausted by chaos, vitriol, and politics that seem more interested in picking fights than improving their lives.

People are worried about groceries, healthcare, housing, good jobs, and whether their families are getting ahead.

They want leaders who speak plainly, act like normal human beings, and actually get things done.

Democrats have been given an incredible opportunity. Shame on us if we waste it. We should be the party of working people, infrastructure, affordable healthcare, good schools, small businesses, and competent government.

Less virtue signaling. Less professor-speak. More listening, more kindness, and more solving everyday problems.

Last night showed that Southern Democrats can compete when we build a big tent and focus on the things people actually care about.

South Carolina has something to say. Now we have to deliver.
