Have you checked out the credentials of this powerhouse Democratic Senate Candidate?

Sure, you've seen the name. But this is a strong candidate! A few details follow:

https://ballotpedia.org/Jaime_R._Harrison

Jaime Harrison (Democratic Party) is running for election to the U.S. Senate to represent South Carolina. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 3, 2020. The Democratic primary for this office on June 9, 2020 was canceled.

Harrison has served as a Democratic political advisor in the state of South Carolina. As of November 2017, Harrison was the associate chair and senior counselor for the Democratic National Committee. Previously, Harrison was chair of the Democratic Party of South Carolina, a principal with the Podesta Group, and an advisor to Congressman James Clyburn (D-S.C.).

Harrison served as the chair of the Democratic Party of South Carolina from May 2013 to April 2017. Prior to his election as chair, Harrison served as the party's first vice chair.[3][7]

According to McClatchy DC, Harrison implemented a program called "Every ZIP code Counts" with the DNC. The program supplied each state party with $10,000 per month so long as the state party did an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses for its internal operations. At the request of Perez, Harrison also spent much of 2017 working in Southern and Western states to assess Democratic infrastructure and outreach, including time in Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Montana, and Utah.[12]
