Today  the Brandon Brown for Congress Campaign announces the endorsement of  one of America’s greatest public servants, Joe Biden, 47th Vice  President of the United States.   

“I have known Brandon for a  long time and have seen firsthand Brandon’s ability to lead and desire  to serve.  I know that he will work hard to protect and expand access to  affordable health care and create an economy that works for all,” Biden  said. “He understands that we must put people first above politics and  as your Congressman I know Brandon will always do what is right and what  is best for the people of the 4th Congressional District.” 

In  response to the endorsement Brown said, “Former Vice-President Joe Biden  has been a champion for women’s rights, civil rights and health care .   He is a leader on the international stage.  I am so grateful to my  friend, who is no stranger to the Upstate, for the confidence he has  placed in my ability to serve.” 

Vice-President Biden has  long been committed to education.  He was a featured speaker at the  Greenville Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Sports  Classic where he discussed the importance of affordable higher  education.  Brown continued, “I was so proud to have him participate in  the HBCU Classic parade in downtown Greenville a few years ago.  I look  forward to taking the wisdom, knowledge and advice he has shared with me  to Washington, DC.” 

The Brandon Brown for Congress  Campaign continues to make strides and gain momentum.  He is focused on  putting people first and continues to listen as citizens voice their  concerns regarding healthcare, protecting jobs, education and  transportation to name a few.  Brandon will be in many of the 4th  District communities in the coming weeks.

Currently practicing in the Upstate and across South Carolina, Attorney Henderson Myers has also practiced in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Pennsylvania. She is a former Alabama state court judge where she presided over 12, 000 cases involving contracts, small claims, criminal misdemeanors, family law, juvenile law and civil litigation.  Representative Henderson Myers served as a corporate attorney in Philadelphia, PA where she represented a major insurance company in an automobile accident and premises liability cases.

  Theo Walker Mitchell, a former Senator and first African American gubernatorial candidate endorsed Brandon Brown last week. 

When both the Republican and Democratic parties urged Theo Mitchell to run for the General Assembly in 1972, it was a sign that times were changing in South Carolina.

The former Legal Services lawyer chose to run as a Democrat. 

On Nov. 7, 1972, he became the first African-American elected to the statehouse since Reconstruction. His background couldn’t have been better: a graduate of Sterling High School, Fisk University, and Howard University Law School, he had been a Greenville attorney and housing activist for years. The following year he was elected to the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce, the first black man to have been honored with the post, and was president of the S.C. Council on Human Rights. Although he was appointed a judge after being re-elected in 1974, he continued his involvement in state politics.

In 1984, he was elected to the State Senate, and in 1990 won the Democratic gubernatorial primary, although he was swamped by Carroll Campbell in the general election.
