3 years ago today was the November 2020 election.
Today in Columbia, I attended the premiere screening of the documentary In the Bubble with Jaime (
@The_jaimedoc ) which followed my race for the United States Senate.
Sitting in the theater, all of the emotions of that year came rushing back… the anxiety of covid, the pressure of running a top national race, and the weight of carrying the hopes and dreams of so many.
It still makes me sad that we weren’t able to pull off the win and improve the lives of so many in my beloved state. That was one goal.
The other goal was to give young people what
@RevJJackson gave me in 1988- HOPE. Hope that better days were ahead & that we could be whatever we wanted.
A few months ago, a proud father stopped me in the airport. He said during the campaign in ‘20 he promised his daughter if he ever met me he would share a picture she made for my campaign. My friends as you can see… we planted the seed and hope is beginning to grow.
