Candidates for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District to meet in forum

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The two candidates for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District are set to speak on key issues during a community forum in downtown Charleston on Sunday night.

Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace is seeking her third term representing the coastal district, while Democrat Michael B. Moore is hoping to unseat her in November.

Sunday’s forum, hosted by the Charleston Jewish Federation, will offer the candidates a chance to make their final pitches to voters with less than 50 days until the election.

South Carolina’s 2024 ballot is set. When is the deadline to register to vote?

The candidates are expected to touch on issues that matter most to residents in the 1st Congressional District, including the economy, reproductive rights, education, and foreign policy, among others.

“Tonight’s candidate forum continues a tradition of our Charleston Jewish Federation convening elected officials and candidates as an opportunity for community members to hear their positions on important issues,” said Brandon Fish, CJF’s Director of Community Outreach. “Our goal is to promote civic engagement and civil discourse, not just in the Jewish community but in the broader Lowcountry community as well. We look forward to hearing from both candidates and sharing that opportunity with Greater Charleston.”
