We Can’t Win, If You Don’t Run. w/ Rep. Kambrell Garvin and Brady Quirk Garvan

Democracy doesn’t fail all at once. It fades when races go uncontested and communities are left without a real choice. Joined by Rep. Kambrell Garvin and Brady Quirk Garvan, the conversation breaks down how unopposed elections, gerrymandered districts, and political burnout are reshaping South Carolina politics from the ground up. They explain why running for state house, county council, or local office still matters, even in tough districts, and how showing up on the ballot creates accountability where none exists. If representation is going to mean anything, someone has to be willing to run. 00:00 Why Running for Office Matters 02:07 ICE, Home Rule, and Federal Overreach 09:01 Immigration Reform and Community Safety 11:23 Closing Primaries and Voter Exclusion 16:46 The Democratic Comeback 22:22 Accountability and Power 28:41 Young Candidates and Barriers to Office 32:32 Why Campaign Money Should Stay Local 35:43 Gerrymandering and Why Running Still Matters 43:06 Mentorship and Public Service 45:21 Generational Change and Representation 50:29 Redistricting and Citizen Action 53:28 Whole Another Thing Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
