. Small business owner and nonprofit leader. Fierce advocate for the Upstate’s working families.
Our grassroots campaign finished Q2 with far more cash on hand than MAGA Republican William Timmons, who’s weaker than ever.
This November, we have a real shot at defeating his extremism and finally delivering for the Upstate.

I had a great time hanging out with the South Greenville Democrats at the Warehouse at Vaughn’s! Thanks for welcoming our team to your monthly lunch.
In Congress, I’ll fight hard for the working families of Mauldin, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, and the surrounding communities.
Tim Walz is among the millions of Americans who have benefited from the modern miracle of fertility treatments like IVF.
My opponent, William Timmons, wants to ban IVF nationwide. That’s wrong.
In Congress, I’ll fight for your freedom to grow your family as you see fit.
I asked Tim Walz about IVF politics in February.
"My wife and I used Mayo Clinic reproductive services, and my daughter Hope was named Hope for a reason," he said.
"Because married for eight years, no children, wanting children. We got Hope because of this type of stuff."
Thanks to all the friendly faces who showed up at yesterday’s

With extreme Senate Republicans banning our health care and restricting our freedoms, we need her voice in Columbia now.
I’m more of a dog girl myself, but I believe every American deserves an equal stake in our democracy — no matter how many kids (or pets) you have!
In Congress, I’ll fight like hell to defend your fundamental freedoms, including your right to grow your family as you see fit.

Earlier this year, senators from both parties came together to craft the toughest border security bill in decades.
But MAGA Republicans like William Timmons tanked that deal — all because Donald Trump told them to.
Timmons puts petty politics over national security every time.
I just voted YES on a resolution condemning border czar Kamala Harris.
Under her watch, over 11 million illegals have entered our country, including criminals and terrorists.
She's failed so miserably at her job, even 6 Democrats joined us to condemn her open-border policies.
MAGA extremist William Timmons co-sponsored a bill that seeks to ban abortion and block IVF access nationwide.
I believe a woman’s most sensitive health care decisions belong between her and her doctor. Period.

Just finished a great meeting with Spartanburg Commissioner of Public Works Angela Viney!
Growing up, my parents taught me to “look for the helpers,” and Angela’s one of the best the Burg has got.
We’re both committed to improving government services for folks across our city.
I had such a fun time chatting with Valerie Erazo and Estefania Cano for the latest episode of their “Limitless Latina” podcast!
I’m so proud of all the work you’re doing to lift up the voices of women, young people, and Latino families across the Upstate.
Kamala Harris is exactly right: This election is all about our fundamental freedoms.
The freedom to make our own health care decisions.
The freedom to grow our families with the help of IVF.
William Timmons is fighting to take away those freedoms. I’m fighting to defend them.
Students are returning to classrooms here in Spartanburg!
I had a blast sharing school supplies and registering voters at QL’s back-to-school bash at the Dr. T. K. Gregg Community Center.
#SC04
deserves a leader who will fight for the future of public education in the Upstate.
In Congress, William Timmons voted against federal funding to make our communities more resilient against extreme weather.
I believe we need to take storms like Hurricane Debby seriously — and I’ll do everything in my power to protect our families and neighbors from the fallout.
Adam Morgan's attack on our SC election workers is shameful and dangerous. As an elected official his actions & words have consequences. His lies put our dedicated election workers at risk. It’s unacceptable in SC and it should be unacceptable in Congress.
There are only 100 days to go until Election Day, and we’re fighting harder than ever to flip

It’s official: I’m challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. William Timmons at the ballot box this November 5. Timmons is absent from our communities and out of touch with what the Upstate needs. Greenville and Spartanburg deserve someone who is focused on results not distractions.
I believe people in the Upstate are ready for change. We reached a major fundraising goal this week, because people like you know there is a path forward. I will work to earn every vote, we all deserve better in Washington.
The strength of our fundraising shows the grassroots support at the center of this campaign. People in Greenville and Spartanburg counties want balanced leadership and are ready to elect a Representative who will focus on results, not distractions.
It is irresponsible to deny the expansion of Medicaid— this funding is intended for our state and would help increase access to healthcare.
We need new leadership in Columbia and D.C. who will fight for the needs of all South Carolinians.
Gov. McMaster vetoes a potential healthcare study committee intended to consider Medicaid expansion. With this veto, South Carolina remains one of the 10 states that have not adopted Medicaid expansion.

William Timmons boasts the “results” he has achieved for the Upstate.
What is he referring to? Applauding the overturn of Roe v. Wade? Voting no on the Equality Act? Rejecting common-sense gun laws? Voting no on the 2021 infrastructure bill?
