California Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA17) visited Beaufort County this week, paying a visit to the Hoperful Horizons Domestic Violence Shelter in Bluffton and meeting with Democrats as a surrogate of the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign.
“I’ve been hearing of the inspiring work from Myra [Rivera Vazquez] and Beth [Young] that the entire organization has been doing, and it’s Domestic Violence [Awareness] Month, so it’s something that we need to highlight as a country, and I wanted to go to a place where people are making a real difference, where you can see that there’s not just prevention, but helping people get back up on their feet, so I’m just very inspired by this organization.”
Khanna also met with the Sun City Democrats (Bluffton), had lunch with local leaders sponsored by the Democratic Club South of the Broad (Hilton Head), attended a roundtable at the Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce in Beaufort, and attended an evening meeting with the Democratic Club North of the Broad at Grace African Methodist Episcopal Church in Beaufort.
