South Carolina: Unlikely Heroes

The South Carolina Democratic candidates listed on this page are contesting the most Republican-leaning districts. All districts on this page are considered to lean towards the GOP by 15 points or more.

These candidates face long odds...but you never know!

I'm raising money to help them keep GOP incumbents spending to defend red seats & away from flipping blue seats, while also helping boost Dem turnout for statewide races!

These "Unlikely Heroes" are punching well above their weight class.

All legislative districts listed below include their partisan lean rating based on the data from Dave's Redistricting.

By default, donations made on this page will be split evenly among the bold-faced candidates listed, but you can also pick & choose which campaigns to support using the "Customize Amounts" tool.

Donations via this page go directly to the recipients listed. None goes to me or anyone else.
