I’ve seen some hot takes that people aren’t interested in politicians knocking on their doors anymore.

That is NOT what @macdeford.bsky.social and I experienced today. People want to meet their politicians and know they care.

Lace up your shoes and get to work, y’all. We got a state to flip!

Can't afford gas. Can't afford groceries. Can't afford to get sick. And 12 SC legislators just made attacking same-sex marriage their top priority. Let that sink in.

For too long, people have counted Democrats out in SC-01. But this campaign is proving that when you put forward a candidate who knows this district, has served this community, and is ready to fight for the Lowcountry, we can flip SC-01.

This is the Lowcountry. And this is our campaign. #SC01

Sixteen years ago, America made a promise that health care should not be only for the wealthy or the well-connected. That promise is worth defending.

Today, I officially filed to run for Congress in South Carolina’s 1st District.

The people of this district need a fighter, not another politician focused on headlines, cable hits, and political games.

I’m ready to take this seat back and make Washington answer to the Lowcountry.

Meanwhile, the war is already estimated to be costing about $3.7 billion in its first 100 hours. Americans deserve better than another unauthorized war and another bill they are forced to pay.

The Iranian regime is a threat. But so is a presidency that ignores the Constitution. Donald Trump started this war without congressional authorization and without clearly telling the American people the end game or the cost.

Looking forward to meeting with 10 VFW posts tomorrow & spending time listening to fellow veterans about the issues facing our community. I hoped Alex Pelbath could join us, but I understand schedules happen. I even picked up a small history-themed gift for him. Alex, let me know where to send it.

I’m a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and I’m furious. While a Coast Guardsman was missing at sea, Secretary Kristi Noem tried to pull aircraft from the search, and her team threatened Coast Guard flight crews over a heated blanket. Reckless. Disgraceful. Kristi Noem is unfit for public office.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., a civil rights giant, a SC son, and a leader who challenged this nation to live up to its promise.

His voice helped expand who belongs at the table and reminded us that hope is not a slogan, it is a call to action.

"Keep hope alive.”

One company can control your insurance, your doctor, your prescription, and your data.

That is not a free market. That is monopoly power.

I am running to break it up and put patients first.

This campaign isn’t being built in a boardroom. It’s being built in living rooms, on front porches, and in communities all across the Lowcountry.

Neighbors. Veterans. Local leaders. Folks who know this district because they live here and serve here. That’s what real grassroots support looks like.

When racist imagery comes from the Oval Office, it carries the weight of the nation.

This wasn’t politics. It was an abuse of power. And it deserves to be strongly condemned.

Grateful for the growing support from veterans, community leaders, and public servants across the Lowcountry. Our new campaign video shows what this movement is really about: listening, showing up — and fighting for the people who call this district home. #MacDeford #SC01 #SCpol

When governments in other countries murder their citizens, we call that tyranny. Congress must put this administration in check and stop its lawlessness.

I served as a federal law enforcement officer. I know the standards. Federal agents murdered Alex Pretti in Minneapolis while he was exercising his First Amendment rights. He was a VA nurse and a U.S. citizen. If Congress defends this, it has abandoned its duty.

As a former law enforcement officer and a father, I’m speaking out.

Detaining five-year olds.
Ignoring court orders.
Terrorizing children.

That’s not who we’re supposed to be.
