FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

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

“Retired Navy Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore’s strong performance tonight shows that South Carolina is ready for common-sense leadership in Washington. Her long career in service started as a helicopter pilot and she rose to become a three star admiral where she led more than 60,000 sailors. Now, she’s seeking to continue that service in Congress. EMILYs List is proud to support Nancy’s campaign as she works to expand the map, energize voters, and flip this seat to secure a Democratic U.S. House majority this November.”
