Every cycle, we build someone else’s team. This team is ours.

We are the Democratic Professionals of South Carolina. We do three things:

Directory. South Carolina’s Democratic professionals
Conference. Coming together in Columbia, 2027
Community. On Signal, for year-round connection

We are an industry.

Merriam-Webster says a professional is “someone who does a job that requires special training, education, or skill.” This is the association for the folks who do Democratic politics professionally, in whatever capacity, across South Carolina. The same dictionary says an industry is “a distinct group of businesses that provide a particular product or service.” Do you see where we are going here? We believe we are an industry, and we aim to start acting like one.

Know who’s here.

We are working to put all of the state’s professional Democrats on one categorized list. Candidates who step up to run in SC find help in a day, and we will have a referral network for when our plates are full.

Meet in one room.

We are planning our first annual conference in the day or two leading up to the party’s 2027 convention. We’ll host state and national speakers, hold a hiring fair, and bring our progressive partners to the table too. The big blue team will be in one big room.

Keep in touch.

We maintain a Signal channel year round specifically to talk about politics as work. Not issues. Not debates about policy positions. Just work, networking, finding jobs, and avoiding jobs. All the things you’d expect from a professional association of a multibillion-dollar industry.

The big races are not hiring here.

We traced $22.1 million that South Carolina’s Democratic candidates paid out since January 2025. Here is how much of each dollar stayed home:
