Their Future PAC endorses Moore
Their Future PAC, the sole political action committee dedicated exclusively to advocating for children’s issues, announced June 27 its endorsement of Democrat Michael B. Moore for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District seat. Moore will face Trump-endorsed incumbent Nancy Mace in November.
As a community and business leader who has consistently prioritized the needs of the most vulnerable among us, including our children, and his priorities align perfectly with the mission of the PAC, according to the release from Their Future PAC.
Dr. Annie Andrews, Founder and CEO of Their Future PAC, praised Moore’s decision to run for Congress and determination to unseat Mace.
“Michael’s dedication to building the brightest possible future for every child in America aligns perfectly with our PAC’s vision,” Andrews said in the release. “We are thrilled to support his effort to unseat Nancy Mace, whose legislative record on these issues, and so many others, is abysmal.”
