FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following Nancy Lacore’s decisive win in the Democratic primary runoff for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is proud to congratulate Nancy Lacore on her Democratic primary runoff win in the race for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. Nancy began her long career in service as a helicopter pilot, and she rose to become a three-star admiral, leading more than 60,000 sailors. As extremists in Washington continue to advance a reckless agenda that threatens the low country and economic security, Nancy will bring a career of service and common sense leadership to deliver for South Carolina in Congress. This seat is in play because of Nancy’s incredible record of service and strength as a candidate. We are proud to continue standing with her through the finish line and flip this seat to secure a Democratic U.S. House majority this November.”
