Some of my favorite moments from the campaign.
A simple but strong message, S.C. as the backdrop, and surrounded by the people who made it possible.
And can’t forget some of my favorite placards from the campaign.
Huge s/o to @RCDiMezzo for turning our message into some incredible designs.
“On the campaign trail, I promised to work with anyone… this week, I got to work on that right away. I spoke with Sen. Tim Scott about our shared love of South Carolina, and the things we can work on together to help people.”
Dr. Annie Andrews became a national rock star on Tuesday when she became the first Democrat to win South Carolina since 1998. Today she shares her thoughts in an exclusive The Post and Courier column. postandcourier.com/opinion/c…
Back on Shem Creek, talking about lowering the damn diesel.
“I’m excited for people to hold my feet to the fire.”
South Carolina Senator-elect @AnnieAndrewsMD on her message to Republican voters who split their ticket on election night and voted for her.
We also ask about a possible Trump impeachment.

"But over the last couple weeks, the whole country tuned in as national Republicans and Democrats alike poured money in. At the moment it’s the biggest surprise on the Senate map"
BACKSTORY - How Annie Andrews shocked the world in SC
- After Graham won primary, Andrews spent $5M+ on ads when she basically had airwaves to herself. By October her campaign had a 3-point lead and never trailed but didn't release the poll
- Trump's Graham endorsement backfired. Mark Sanford: “A Waterloo moment for Trump ... this is a person who said: ‘Close your eyes and pretend you’re voting for me.’ OK, they did ... They just didn’t like Darline as a candidate and felt it had been forced down their throats by Trump"
- Andrews made big inroads with Rs by courting supporters of Ralph Norman, getting Beasley endorsement. She worked closely with Clyburn to help juice turnout and other than Warnock kept the campaign local
- This all led to a convincing win and ... coat tails. Dems picked up the Lowcountry House seat. Andrews ran ahead of Dem guv candidate; and Graham ran way behind

South Carolina, where Donald Trump won by 18 points two years ago, just sent a Democrat to the Senate. @maddiecarlisle2 reports on the changes that led to Annie Andrews’s victory. theatlantic.com/politics/202…
Beyond thankful to be part of this team and to work for someone who never stopped believing in South Carolina and its people.
South Carolina first & always.

One tidbit in my latest update on SC's U.S. Senate race:
An interview with the son of Ralph Norman, who spoke in defense of Annie Andrews against dad's former opponent, Darline Graham.
"She is very real, or seems very real to me," Norman said.

New policy rollout, meet & greet, and ending the day with a packed 250+ person town hall. LFG.

I worked with Austin in ’22 and saw up close how his work was rooted in serving people. That’s why I was proud to help write his relaunch speech.
He understands the challenges people face because he’s lived them. That kind of honest dedication is exactly what we need now.
"Fish, family, and freedom” –– killer line
My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.
We need systemic change if we're going to fill our homes with abundance again.

Proud of our team and excited for the change David will bring as the first Gen Z member and the youngest person ever elected to DNC leadership!
I’ve just been elected as a Vice Chair of the DNC. I’m deeply grateful to the members for their trust and belief in me and I don’t take it lightly. Now it’s time to get to work. 🧵

It’s time to put Trump and the Republicans on the defense. That’s exactly what David and his classmates did after Parkland and that’s what he’ll do again as the next Vice Chair of the DNC.
We need a party that listens and connects with the American people again––and we need leadership that can do that work.
That’s why @Tim_Walz is endorsing David Hogg, read what he said ⬇️
Tim Walz, who backed fellow Minnesotan Ken Martin for DNC chair yesterday, also endorses David Hogg for a vice chair slot:
