Dem Weekend, and y'all showed up ready! The energy at the SCDP State Convention didn't feel like a typical political event. It felt like community organizing, and that's how we need to meet this moment. 🧵 1/4 #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #scdemweekend2026 #FlipTheFirst #scdems

Came for the politics. Stayed for the fish. Left with my heart full and my plate alarmingly empty. See y'all at the convention later! Let me know if you want to get involved in building a new American dream together & we'll make it happen. #Mayra4Congress #scdems #scdemweekend #DemocraticConvention

“As the South goes, so goes the nation.” W. E. B. Du Bois made this statement during the Jim Crow era to express how much leadership and strength exists amongst us. This was the theme of today’s meet and greet in Summerville. 1/4 #Mayra4Congress #scpol #FlipTheFirst #GetOutTheVote

Yesterday I attended a faith leaders' meeting in Pineville, a powerful gathering where ministry leaders voiced their values and their worries. One concern that kept coming up: "Mayra, I am concerned about our young people's futures." 1/3 #Mayra4Congress #scpol #FlipTheFirst #GetOutTheVote

Despite the weather, I loved every second at the Lowcountry Early Voting Rally today! Thank you to 50501 SC and everyone who came out. Hearing directly from voters about what matters most is everything. We're building a new American Dream together. #Mayra4Congress #scpol #50501SC #GetOutTheVote

I walked into Penn Center ready to work. I walked out reminded what we're actually working for. Unity. Dignity. A dream that gets built anyway. Join me, and let's build a new American dream together. Volunteer: tinyurl.com/TeamMRV4C Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/investinmayra #Mayra4Congress

Last night's debate at The Citadel was democracy in action. Huge thanks to the organizers and my fellow candidates for a vigorous exchange of ideas. Here's my takeaway. 🧵 #Mayra4Congress #scpol

I was blessed to attend last night’s banquet for Charleston’s newspaper The Black Voice. We celebrated their accomplishments in the community, received a special intro from Rep Wendell Gilliard, & listened to Congressman Jonathan Jackson (IL-01) share about how they are fighting for us in the govt.

Yesterday I was knocking doors in Goose Creek talking to neighbors about why this election matters. These conversations fuel my drive for change. 1/2 #Mayra4Congress #sc01 #scpol #FlipTheFirst #goosecreek

Today I visited @harlowandpearl coffee in their new location at the @Starlight Motor Inn. The owner, Nichole, has created a vibrant community with her business in the Lowcountry, and it was evident to me the minute I walked in the door. www.instagram.com/reel/DYaq-rD... 1/2 #Mayra4Congress #coffee

Big thanks to the League of Women Voters of Charleston and Silence is Not an Option for today's candidate forum. The questions were deep and thoughtful, and I appreciated the chance to share and defend my vision for the Lowcountry and a new American dream. #Mayra4Congress #FlipTheFirst #SC01

It's my birthday. All I ask is $12. 1 (new beginnings) + 2 (balance) = a reminder to let go & step into something better. That's this campaign. Give $12 or bring in 1 donor & 2 volunteers. Either way, you're involved. Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/investinmayra Volunteer: tinyurl.com/TeamMRV4C

This campaign is becoming something bigger than me. National attention, a coalition nobody saw coming. And it's because people like YOU are ready for something real. New American Dream! Let's go. Volunteer tinyurl.com/TeamMRV4C Donate secure.actblue.com/donate/investinmayra #Mayra4Congress #scpol

Today we celebrate mothers in every form: biological, adoptive, foster, chosen, & every woman who loves without condition. Black, Latina, Asian, Indigenous, immigrant, single, military, LGBTQ+ families; your strength is powerful, your love is lasting. Happy Mother's Day.💐 #Mayra4Congress #mothersday

It's not a win if you have to change the rules to get there. Let your current representatives know that you don't support the gerrymandering, and make sure you vote in the primary for candidates like myself, who support free and fair elections for all! #Mayra4Congress #SC01 #gerrymandering #scpol

Today I joined women from across SC at the 11th Annual Day in Blue. My 3rd year, & these women are ready to shake up SC. We talked coalition-building, high standards for SC, & centering women in this work. Plus got to witness Dr. Jermaine Jackson's farewell on the House floor. What a day. #scpol

I had a great time over the weekend at the Dorchester County Democratic Party Candidate Meet and Greet. I love being able to dig in and understand the issues you're facing and how I can help once I'm in Washington. 1/2 #Mayra4Congress #SC01 #puertoricanpride #scpol #FlipTheFirst

It was my pleasure to attend the Candidate Forum at Mt. Nebo AME in Awendaw. I enjoyed sharing ideas with other candidates, and speaking with voters about the issues that keep them awake at night. 1/2 #Mayra4Congress #SCpol #sc01 #FlipTheFirst #southcarolina

Yesterday I spent time walking around the Latin Market in Dorchester talking to the Latino community about what’s at stake this election. So many of my friends were there, and we had a good time while also educating people on voter registration, voter location, and the primaries on June 9th. 1/2

Rain or shine, I’m going to show up for workers in the Lowcountry. Yesterday, the May Day rally in Summerville was so exciting. By showing up & building community, we are sending a message to billionaires & corrupted officials that the PEOPLE have the power. 1/2 #Mayra4Congress #scpol #mayday

Sharing my policies and values with all of you always rejuvenates me - and I am a big fan of the work Indivisible is doing to mobilize voters and grassroots communities during a time such as this. Thank you, Indivisible Charleston! 3/3 #Mayra4Congress #indivisible #SCVotes #scpol #FlipTheFirst

I am fighting for affordable healthcare, working families, gun safety, and real representation in South Carolina's 1st District. This seat can flip in 2026, but only if we fund it. Every dollar moves us closer! Donate now 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/investinmayra #Mayra4Congress #scpol #FlipTheFirst

Yesterday I attended the Sun City Candidate Fair. It is when I am given the opportunity to engage in dialogue and listen to people’s concerns that I understand how lucky I am that they chose me to share with. I love serving the people. 1/3 #Mayra4Congress #scpol #sc01 #southcarolina #suncity

The only way forward is through it, and I'm in this fight for the long haul. I have the experience needed to serve this district with integrity and cooperation. #Mayra4Congress #scpol #sc01 #southcarolina

This is a speech from October of 2025. It's about a previous abortion banning bill, which is no longer on the table; but S.1095 is, and my point still stands. 1/2 #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #sc01 #southcarolina #ReproductiveHealth

As we close out Black Maternal Health Week, I wanted to put my stance on record. When all other factors are accounted for, the disparity in maternal survival rates is stark. We must address it with urgency. #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #sc01 #southcarolina #ReproductiveHealth

Last night, I was honored to be invited to speak in Mount Pleasant to a group of proud Democrats. They asked thoughtful questions, gave insightful opinions, and inspired me to keep fighting for the Lowcountry. 1/4 #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #sc01 #southcarolina

Yesterday, the College of Charleston Foreign Policy and Political Science clubs invited me to come talk to their members about the urgent moment we are in, and I was so lucky to hear the ideas these young people want someone in Congress to promote. 1/3 #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #thekidsarealright

💰 "Put your money where your mouth is." His 2027 budget cuts: ❌ Home energy assistance (LIHEAP) — gone ❌ Job Corps — gone ❌ Rural business grants — cut ❌ Science & research (NSF –55%, NASA –23%) ✅ Defense? UP 42%. 👀 Money talks. What does this say to you? #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #FY2027Budget

I had the honor to stand with Lowcountry residents last night who are demanding transparency, safety, & clean energy for Colleton County. I spoke in opposition of the Canadys Gas Plant that Dominion & Santee Electric Cooper are proposing for the Ace Basin. 1/4 #Mayra4Congress #savetheace #scpolitics

Reports that ICE would play a role in security at the ceremony left many families too afraid to attend; turning what should have been a proud, joyful milestone into an anxious, incomplete moment for our newest Marines. 1/7

I see you. I stand with you. And I will fight for you. #AutismAcceptance #InclusionMatters #PublicEducation #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics

They shared that they want to see the money that we are investing in ICE and bad foreign policy be redirected towards safety nets that would stimulate our economy and protect working families. I agree; we have the money for a new American dream! Let’s make it happen together. 2/2 #Mayra4Congress
