We’re officially at our mid-month check-in, and our grassroots campaign needs your help to reach our goal. Local races directly impact our jobs, our schools, and our daily commutes. Chip in anything you can today to support our organizers on the ground: claymiddleton.com/donate.

Everything costs more right now. Groceries. Housing. Healthcare. Utilities. And for too many families across the Lowcountry, they continue to feel squeezed. We should not have to watch the people who call the Lowcountry home and raise families here get priced out.

Back at it. If you need a cooler option, go to claymiddleton.com to sign up to make calls instead. #Shaping116Together

On this day of remembrance, we honor the lives lost, the heroic first responders whose selfless actions defined courage, the survivors whose resilience inspired us, and the families who carry the memory of their loved ones each and every day. #NeverForget

Join us on 09/14 for a Fundraiser! With November 3rd right around the corner, we need all the help we can get. RSVP for location! #Shaping116Together

Nikki, the boys, and I had a great time in Red Top participating in their annual Labor Day parade and picnic. We enjoyed good food, fellowship, and fun. #Shaping116Together #Lowcounty #LaborDay

Every single vote matters in District 116. Make sure your voter registration is up to date, your address is current, and you are ready to make your voice heard this November. #Shaping116Together #GOTV #SouthCarolina #Vote #Midterms

There is no United States without the labor of those before us. There is no 5-day workweek or benefits without countless Americans who have done the work for generations. #Shaping116Together #LaborDay #Lowcountry

It was hot, but we were outside and active yesterday. First, less talking, more listening. Then, actual action through policy delivery for every Lowcountry family. This District, and state deserve real leadership. #Shaping116Together #Canvassing #Lowcountry

Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone. Had a great day today doing my favorite thing: hearing from people like you. #Shaping116Together

Service begins with listening. You can’t solve a community’s problems if you never take the time to understand them. #Shaping116Together

We live in one of the most beautiful places in the country—but living in the Lowcountry also means taking hurricane season seriously. 🌊 A reminder to take a few minutes this weekend to check your family's emergency plan... #Shaping116Together #Lowcountry #HurricanePreparedness

I've said from the beginning that this campaign isn't about one person. It's neighbors talking to neighbors. It's people giving up part of a Saturday to knock doors. It's someone making calls after work. It's a conversation at church, at the grocery store, or standing in somebody's driveway.

Flood resilience doesn’t always have to look like concrete. The Dale Morris Ecological Park on Johns Island is an example of using green space and engineered wetlands as part of a larger drainage strategy. #JohnsIsland #FloodResilience #Lowcountry #Shaping116Together

Affordability is about more than one number. ☑️It’s the cost of housing. ☑️It’s the grocery bill. ☑️It’s healthcare. ☑️It’s property taxes. ☑️It’s whether the cost of living allows families to remain in the communities they call home. #Affordability #Lowcountry #Shap

We must set clearer standards for data center development. Read more about my plan to protect the ACE Basin, and our rural and residential communities as your state representative for House District 116. #Shaping116Together #Lowcountry #datacenters #protectourland

A child's health should never be a barrier to their education. 🏥📚 Charleston County School District recently announced a new school-based dental hygiene program designed to help students access preventive oral healthcare. #Shaping116Together #Healthcare #PublicEducation

In the military, nobody asks if the soldier next to them is a Democrat or a Republican. They want to know if they are focused on the mission, trained, and capable of getting the job done. 🇺🇸 #Shaping116Together

The Lowcountry is special because our history is still all around us. A key part of community engagement is staying up-to-date with what's going on in and around our area. https://engage.charlestoncounty.org/q17517 #Shaping116Together #EdistoIsland #LowcountryHistory #GullahGeechee

Big national races get the headlines, but local races decide what happens right outside our front door. We’re in the middle of the month, and we need your help! #Shaping116Together

Good turnout, good company, and good times at the Charleston Co. Democratic Party midterm gala and fundraiser. In order for us to celebrate the night of Nov 3rd, we shape 116 together.

Thank you to the Sea Islands Alliance of Ministries for hosting an informative candidates forum. Enjoyed being on Johns Island listening and talking to voters about #Shaping116Together.

Glad I was able to celebrate with Allen AME Church on their 100th Church Anniversary. Continued blessings to this church, their community, and to Rev. LaShaun R. Flagg on her leadership. #SouthCarolina #faith

Our beautiful waterways, marshes, and farmland are our state's identity and our defense against flooding. 🌾🌊 #Shaping116Together

If you’ve driven down Main Road or Maybank Highway during rush hour lately, you know our district's growth has outpaced our infrastructure. 🚗💨 💬 What’s the worst traffic spot on your daily commute? Drop it in the comments below! #Shaping116Together

Strong public schools are the backbone of strong communities. 📚✏️ Yet too many of our teachers are forced to buy their own classroom supplies or leave the profession altogether due to burnout and stagnant pay. #Shaping116Together

Can’t believe we are jumping right into this school year! 🎒✨ Summer has been incredible, but Jeremiah and Joshua are officially ready to head back to the classroom. 📚 #Shaping116Together #BackToSchool #PublicEducation #SouthCarolina #Charleston

The last general election was decided by less than 1% for District 116. That means every single vote counts—and who represents us matters more than ever, from school board to state house to Congress, as we fight for a better 116. #Shaping116Together

Had a lovely day yesterday at the Edisto Island Gullah Geechee Celebration, honoring the rich cultural heritage and celebrating the vibrant traditions of the Gullah Geechee community here in SC. 🌊🎉 #GullahGeechee #CulturalHeritage #Shaping116Together
