Today, I want to celebrate and thank some important Mothers in my life. First, my mom. My mom was young when she had me. I’ve never seen someone so young, work so hard, with so little & do so much. My mom makes me happy when I’m sad & keeps me focused on my purpose- Doing Good!
Next, my wife Marie. I’m the luckiest man on the planet because I married today’s Renaissance woman. Intelligent, beautiful, creative, thoughtful & a heart of gold. But her best superpower is that she is an amazing mom! My boys and I are so blessed to have her in our lives!
My grandma, Ms. Bookie. From ironing, to sewing, to cooking to fishing… my grandma was always teaching me & showing me how to be the best Jaime I could be. She is the rock 🪨 & ❤️ of our family. Her love is a blessing to us all!
My Mother-In Law, Sherryl is a saint and one of the most caring people I know. She welcomed me into the family with open arms & is someone I turn to for sage advice. She is an amazing mom & terrific grandma.
I want to wish all my aunts, my sister and my “life” moms & aunties a wonderful & Happy Mother’s Day! #MothersDay2021

We know we need to be organizing and building power year-round. That’s why we’re investing $20 million in states before the general election begins to ensure Democrats win in 2021 and 2022—our earliest and largest midterm investment ever. With this investment, we're:
Protecting the right to vote: Across the country, the GOP is attacking the right to vote. So we’re launching our biggest voter protection program ever. We’re embedding experts in critical states and expanding existing programs like IWillVote.com and our voter hotline.
Modernizing the organizing process: We have more than 200,000 active online volunteers ready to mobilize—and that number will continue to grow. We’re expanding our digital organizing infrastructure, and deploying these volunteers in 2021 elections and early voter reengagement.

The spirit of Lee Atwater is still alive and well in today’s GOP. We hear the dog whistles. Folks like Mitch & Haley probably haven’t even read the 1619 project. But, why is it divisive to teach folks about the treatment of & contributions made by Blacks in this nation?
Our racial history as a nation is painful to say the least & that historic pain from unrelenting racial inequality is pervasive & still lives with us today. We can’t ignore it. We can’t forget it but must learn from it so as to be better, do better & make sure to never repeat it.
Kind of ironic that folks who won’t say a peep about grown folks dressed up and re-enacting battles of the war about slavery, yet are quick to want Black folks, who every day live with remnants of that period, to just move on. If it were just that easy.

56 years ago ... 600 marched to be seen, to be heard, to be valued. They were harassed, beaten, & bloodied. The nation responded w/ the passage of the VRA, yet today legislatures across the nation are passing laws to limit the rights once again. #WeWontGoBack 1/
Similar to then, there is a looming question today for Democrats & Republicans in Congress- what will you do in the face of injustice?

HR1/HR4 puts an end to attempts to suppress the rights of voters & honors the hurt, harm, & sacrifices of so many like my hero John Lewis. 2/
I hope folks can put aside the pettiness & partisanship to do what is right. However if the GOP decides to not move forward, Democrats MUST act and do what is necessary to protect the rights of all voters in the nation. #WeWontGoBack #ForThePeopleAct 3

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.

Anderson is ready to have a good time! We love the energy the Upstate has to #SendLindseyHome
Lindsey should be *really* worried about keeping his job.
But this election is about more than Lindsey Graham. It’s about bringing hope back to South Carolina.
