Mac Deford, Democratic candidate for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, received the endorsement of the College Democrats of South Carolina. Last year, Deford also secured the endorsement of Harvard College Democrats.
"The endorsement from the College Democrats of South Carolina is a testament to our shared vision for a brighter future," said Mac Deford. "Young voters are the driving force behind positive change, and their engagement in this election is crucial. I am committed to addressing the issues that matter most to our youth, from education and job opportunities to climate change and social justice."
The College Democrats of South Carolina's endorsement statement reads:
"The College Democrats of South Carolina are proud to endorse Mac Deford in the Democratic primary for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District. Mac's exceptional commitment to public service and making a tangible difference has captured our support.
Mac's journey from serving in the U.S. Coast Guard to furthering his education at The Citadel and the Charleston School of Law demonstrates his dedication to helping others. His roles in local government, including as Associate General Counsel for Mount Pleasant and General Counsel for Hilton Head Island, highlight his work on key policies like environmental protection, affordable housing, and infrastructure investments.
Mac's campaign focuses on bipartisanship and civility, aiming to increase teacher pay, remove politics from the classroom, expand broadband access, and ensure proper public school funding. He understands the challenges faced by youth and college students and is committed to making their voices heard in Washington. South Carolina ranks near the bottom in education, and Congress must act to support our children's future. Mac Deford is the leader who can bring about this needed change.
The College Democrats of South Carolina stand united in our support for Mac Deford for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District."
