When our nation was plagued by so many important issues and had not even recovered from two back-to-back hurricanes that left so many Americans homeless, what was Congressman Jeff Duncan doing? Was he helping thousands of displaced hurricane victims? Nope. He voted against hurricane relief for victims of Harvey. Was he working to provide affordable healthcare for ALL Americans? Nope. He has supported all versions of Trumpcare that would strip health insurance from hundreds of thousands of Americans.
<br>
So, what was Jeff Duncan doing? He was introducing a bill to make gun suppressors/silencers cheaper and more accessible. After seven years, that's all we can expect from our congressman. When it comes to truly standing up for the good people of South Carolina’s 3rd, to calling out white supremacists by name, to fighting for ALL of his constituents, regardless of how they voted, this is what we get.
<br>
Well, I'm here to say shame on you, Jeff Duncan. Not only are you working to make it easier for criminals to get away with murder, something our law enforcement officers don't support, but you are ignoring the real issues that face our great nation. Why are you doing this? Perhaps to repay the gun lobby that has lined your pockets for years? Enough is enough.
<br>
Why does Duncan believe he can get away with pushing an idea that the vast majority of Americans and his constituents oppose...because he thinks he won’t face the consequences. This is why the gun manufacturing lobby relies on him to promote these bills. They contribute thousands to him, and in return, he does their bidding in Washington.
<br>
Until now, he was right. He didn’t have to face the consequences. The DCCC, the DNC, and other organizations have never christened our district as “competitive.” As a result, no serious campaign has challenged Jeff Duncan. It is time to make Congress realize no seat is safe. If any members of Congress are fighting for lobbyists instead of voters, we need to remind them they work for us.
<br>
As South Carolina's next Congresswoman, I will fight for all of you, not special interests. But, make no mistake. To flip this district will take a lot of hard work and help from not only the good folks in SC, but from everyone who cares about our children’s futures. The DNC and DCCC can no longer ignore races like mine if they hope to ever reclaim Congress. Duncan is extremely confident that no Democrat will ever beat him in SC. He is so confident that he sees absolutely no risk in voting against hurricane relief funding, repealing the ACA, or deregulating gun silencers. I intend to prove him wrong, and our campaign is well on our way by already raising more in individual contributions than the last 3 Democratic nominees in this district combined.
