EMILYs List Endorses Nancy Lacore for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District

January 20, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Nancy Lacore for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“As a lifelong public servant and Navy veteran, Rear Admiral Nancy Lacore has always put serving our country and keeping Americans safe above partisan politics. With extensive military experience, a commitment to integrity and mission-first leadership, and a focus on results over political theater, Nancy offers the steady, capable leadership Lowcountry families are demanding. EMILYs List is proud to support Nancy as she runs to serve South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.”

Rear Admiral Nancy Lacore is a lifelong public servant, national security leader, and Navy veteran who has spent more than three decades serving her country with honor and distinction. Throughout her career, Nancy accumulated more than 1,300 flight hours, earned numerous military decorations, and led teams recognized for excellence in service. But for Nancy, leadership has never been about rank but has been about responsibility, accountability, and taking care of the people who serve and sacrifice. Now, Nancy is stepping forward to serve again by running for Congress because she sees Washington consumed by dysfunction while families struggle with rising costs, threats to national security, and leaders more focused on politics than results.
