Words can’t express how much much I loved and admired Don Fowler. If there was a logo of a Democrat it would be Don. Next year was going to be his 50th year as a @DNC Member.
Don was DNC Chair, @scdp Chair and President of Young Dems. There will never be another Don Fowler.
My first memory of Don was when I was an intern for @WhipClyburn . Don was the @DNC Chair & we had just gotten a huge delivery of peaches from SC. Don asked me to deliver peaches across DC & my last stop was the prize- the White House. I was overjoyed & so appreciative of Don.
Since that moment, every major step I’ve taken in Democratic politics, Don has been there to guide and mentor me. From SCDP Chair to my races for DNC Chair to US Senate, Don has been in my corner. I even taught his class with my friend and former SCGOP chair @MattMooreSC.
Don and @cfowler10 are beloved across the nation. Let’s share our love for Don with Carol and Donnie Fowler. Hold them up in prayer.
Don was a political titan. He served the nation in the military and continued his service in politics. I will miss my friend Dr. Don Fowler!

Outside of our cities, roads and bridges are crumbling, hospitals are closing, and folks can’t access fast, reliable broadband.
My Rural Hope Agenda is a bipartisan plan to bring back opportunity to all South Carolinians.
COVID-19 laid bare the inequities of our healthcare system. But even before that, the neglect by our leaders cost the lives of rural South Carolinians.
You cannot work or raise a family if you are sick. The Rural Hope Agenda will bring hope and health back to these communities.
When you have a health emergency and your nearest hospital is 45 minutes away, that can be a death sentence.
I support Sen. Grassley’s REACH Act, which will provide support for cost-efficient rural hospitals and enable other medical facilities to provide care and save lives.
It’s been a crazy day, but this evening I sat down to really reflect on how far we’ve come in this campaign. When I got in this, no one thought we could pull it off (1/x)
The first poll my team got after officially launching had us *17 POINTS* behind Graham.
It felt like it was impossible to close in on that lead, but we were going to try. (2/x)
This team got to work, and we hit the ground running — talking to voters all over the state, listening to their concerns, and starting Harrison Helps so that we could start to bring hope back ASAP.
We're coming up on the end-of-quarter, and this is an essential deadline for grassroots candidates for Congress on the ballot in South Carolina!
I hope you'll join me in supporting these incredible leaders before tomorrow's deadline 👇🏾
From bringing home victories on the football field to bringing 5,000 jobs to the state, @MoeBrownSC has spent his life serving South Carolina — and now he's running for Congress to move us forward! secure.actblue.com/donate/jh4mb-s…
.@Adair4Congress is running against an 18-year incumbent who voted against expanding healthcare for kids and veterans. Her whole life has been about beating the odds and helping others do the same. Let’s send her to Washington! secure.actblue.com/donate/adairfo…
.@CoryBooker has been a vital voice in this Presidential race, and a remarkable man. I’ve called him a friend for most of my adult life, and he is the same brilliant, big-hearted, selfless, caring guy now as he was when I first met him in my college cafeteria.
Cory’s perspective as both a Black man and a resident of an inner-city community was invaluable in shaping the debate and making sure that everyone’s perspective had a seat at the table.
I know the country still desperately needs Cory. We need his leadership, his positivity, but most importantly, his compassion. Times are still tough in America, but when I think of Cory and the days ahead I smile. Shine on, my friend.✨
