Big super PACs and outside groups put their thumb and big buck$ on the scale to anoint candidates. I’m seeing it happen in my congressional district where out of state groups are endorsing a newcomer to my state. Fundraising is fine but I prefer a town hall & candidate forum to choose my rep. #SC01

MAYRA RIVERA VAZQUEZ FOR CONGRESS South Carolina's First Congressional District mayra4congress.com||info@mayra4congress.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 1, 2026 Rivera Vazquez Condemns Trump's Attack on the 14th Amendment as Supreme Court Hears Birthright Citizenship Case “No president has the power to rewrite the Constitution by executive order. This case is about whether we keep our promise to every child born on American soil.” BEAUFORT, S.C. — As the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in Trump v. Barbara, the most significant constitutional challenge to birthright citizenship in American history; Mayra Rivera Vazquez, Democratic candidate for South Carolina’s First Congressional District, issued the following statement condemning the Trump administration’s effort to strip citizenship from children born on U.S. soil. “The 14th Amendment is not a loophole. It is a promise,” said Rivera Vazquez. “Written in the aftermath of the Civil War to ensure that no government, not a court, not a president, not a king, could ever again decide that some people born on American soil are less than citizens. That promise is on trial today. “I am running for Congress in South Carolina’s First District. My community knows what it means to be told you don’t fully belong here. We know what it means to have your dignity questioned, your legitimacy challenged, your children’s future put on the line. That is exactly what this executive order does and it is exactly what the 14th Amendment was written to prevent.
Every federal court that has reviewed this order has found it unconstitutional. Legal scholars across the political spectrum have called it a rewriting of the Constitution itself. The plain text of the amendment is unambiguous: all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens. There is nothing ambiguous about that. There is nothing to reinterpret. If this administration succeeds, it will not just affect future children, it will cast a shadow over the citizenship of millions of Americans going back decades, creating the kind of permanent underclass this nation fought a Civil War to abolish. I stand with the families whose children’s citizenship hangs in the balance today. I will carry this fight to Congress, where I will oppose any effort, legislative or otherwise, to undermine the 14th Amendment. The floor of our democracy is not negotiable.”
I have issued a statement regarding the Birthright Citizenship Case being heard by the Supreme Court today. See the full statement below.

In Berkeley County, I heard how difficult it can be to start a family. I believe, as a nation, we have the ability to provide universal childcare so families don’t have to choose between going to work and raising children. When elected to Congress, I will fight to support families across #sc01 .

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with Daniel Island residents in their homes alongside friends. One of my favorite parts of public service is listening to people’s concerns and discussing the issues we can solve together.

The United States of America would not exist without immigrants. Men and women from a myriad of countries have proudly worn the uniform of the U.S. Marines. They have sacrificed, fought, and died for a country that gave them hope.

I'm thrilled to announce that the March On PAC has endorsed my campaign. This is the same PAC that took back Mar-a-Lago's district in a Florida special election, and I'm excited to get down to business!

I want to thank everyone who came out today, and showed up to stand strong for our democracy. Persistence, resistance, and resilience. That's the American way, and we'll get through this together.

Service and Skill. That's what should be considered in a promotion. It's not a meritocracy if you're excluding some of your best people.

In any other administration, this would trigger oversight hearings and accountability, but it's not even front page news. We must win the midterms, so that we can provide a steadying check against the dystopian plot twist we've found ourselves in.

Cruelty, or incompetence, or both? ICE has been using a faulty justification for showing up at immigration and family courts. Turns out the memo from the DOJ allowed them to detain folks at criminal courts only, and the DOJ "deeply regrets the error".

For too long, people have counted Democrats out in SC-01. But this campaign is proving that when you put forward a candidate who knows this district, has served this community, and is ready to fight for the Lowcountry, we can flip SC-01.
This is the Lowcountry. And this is our campaign. #SC01
South Carolina as a state is much more conservative than #SC01. And if she sounds reasonable on those issues, why not focus on that and not on this?
I officially filed to run for the 1st Congressional District of South Carolina today. I believe that we can build a better future together, and I'm excited to get to work!
