Mac Deford, a Democrat, U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and local attorney, is formally kicking off campaign season with two events in the Lowcountry. The campaign will kick off the season with events at the Tradesman Brewing Company in Charleston at 6 pm on Wednesday, March 13th, followed by a subsequent event at the Hilton Head Brewing Company on Hilton Head Island at 6 pm on Thursday, March 14th.
Bringing a wealth of experience from his time in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he served as a federal law enforcement officer, and as the in-house attorney for the Town of Mount Pleasant and as General Counsel for the Town of Hilton Head Island, Deford says he is committed to addressing the critical issues facing the Lowcountry. His campaign is focusing on advocating for women's reproductive rights, supporting public education, reforming our immigration laws, enhancing local infrastructure, fostering affordable housing solutions, and safeguarding the environment. With a strong belief in public service over political stardom, Deford emphasizes the importance of effective representation in Congress that transcends political divisions.

"At 34, I represent a generation that urgently needs more representation in Washington," Deford said. "Only 12% of millennials make up the House - we need more to complement the experienced members currently serving. I've dedicated my life to public service, and fewer reality TV stars and more public servants in Washington. It's time for Congress to focus on genuine public service, tackling the real issues that matter to our district, from women's rights to local issues."
Deford's campaign has gained momentum since its inception in May of 2023, attracting support across the political spectrum, including support from former supporters of Nancy Mace. As he formally kicks off the campaign season, Deford extends an invitation to Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike, emphasizing his commitment to serving all citizens of the Lowcountry.

"Over the next few months, I will make the case for why I'm not only the Democrat who can win in November but also the best choice to represent the 1st Congressional District," Deford said.
The campaign kickoff events are open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to join Mac Deford in shaping a united vision for the Lowcountry and our nation.
