Jaime Harrison (Democratic Party) was an officeholder of the Democratic Party Chair. He assumed office on January 14, 2021. He left office on February 1, 2025.

Harrison (Democratic Party) ran for election to the U.S. Senate to represent South Carolina. He lost in the general election on November 3, 2020.

Harrison has served as a Democratic political advisor in the state of South Carolina. As of November 2017, Harrison was the associate chair and senior counselor for the Democratic National Committee. Previously, Harrison was chair of the Democratic Party of South Carolina, a principal with the Podesta Group, and an advisor to Congressman James Clyburn (D-S.C.).

In February 2017, Harrison was a candidate for chair of the DNC. He dropped out of the race and endorsed Tom Perez on February 23, 2017.

On January 14, 2021, then-President-elect Joe Biden (D) named Harrison as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Career

Education and early career

Harrison earned a B.A. in political science from Yale University in 1998. Following graduation, he worked as a world geography teacher at his alma mater, Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School in Orangeburg, South Carolina, for a year before transitioning to the role of chief operations officer for College Summit, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to support high school students on the path to college and career success.

U.S. House advisor, 2003-2007

Harrison began working as a policy advisor to Congressman James Clyburn (D-S.C.) in January 2003. He earned his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center the following year. In 2006, Harrison worked as the executive director of the U.S. House of Representatives Democratic Caucus. He returned to Clyburn's office in 2007 as the floor director and counsel as well as a senior political and legislative advisor.

Podesta Group, 2008-2016

In 2008, Harrison accepted a position as a principal with the Podesta Group, a government relations and public affairs firm. He took a leave of absence from the firm in November 2016 to launch his campaign for chair of the Democratic National Committee.

On the weekend of February 24, 2017, the more than 400 members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) elected former Labor Secretary Tom Perez to succeed interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile. Harrison was a candidate for the position.

At a December 2016 candidate forum in Denver, Colorado, Harrison stressed the need for the Democratic Party to strengthen its grassroots infrastructure. "If we build a strong organization, it doesn't matter if you have a political phenomenon like a once-in-a-generation Barack Obama or a policy wonk like Hillary Clinton: We will win," said Harrison.

Harrison dropped out of the race on February 23, 2017, and endorsed Tom Perez for the chairmanship.

DNC associate chair

In April 2017, Harrison announced that he would step down as the state party chairman to take a position in the DNC as associate chair. Harrison told the Charleston Post and Courier, "In order to enact Democratic policies to help all Americans, including those who live in red states, I will be working to build a 57-state and territory strategy. I will be leading DNC initiatives including the State Party Partnership, training programs, vendor diversity, and 2020 planning including the convention, debates and nominating process."

According to McClatchy DC, Harrison implemented a program called "Every ZIP code Counts" with the DNC. The program supplied each state party with $10,000 per month so long as the state party did an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses for its internal operations. At the request of Perez, Harrison also spent much of 2017 working in Southern and Western states to assess Democratic infrastructure and outreach, including time in Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Montana, and Utah.

Campaign website

Harrison’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Healthcare Jaime knows first-hand how hard it can be to access medical care when you’re from a poor, rural community. His grandfather worked long backbreaking days, paving roads across South Carolina. Despite working his whole life, he couldn’t afford regular visits to the doctor. When he was finally able to see a doctor, he learned he suffered from undiagnosed diabetes, which had gone unchecked for years and resulted in his losing a leg. Jaime’s family is not alone. Thousands in South Carolina face impossible choices between paying the regular bills or taking themselves or their kids to the doctor. Jaime will work tirelessly to make sure families don’t have to make those hard decisions. That means lowering the cost of healthcare for those who already pay too much, extending health care to those who cannot afford it to begin with, making sure all South Carolinians have access to high quality services they actually need, lowering prescription drug prices, protecting people with pre-existing conditions, and stopping the closure of rural hospitals. Growing the Middle Class Jaime’s mother was a teenager when he was born, and she worked her hardest to provide the best possible life for him. When she was out of work and had few options, she contacted South Carolina’s Senators, Fritz Hollings and Strom Thurmond. Even though she did not know either Senator, and had no political connections to serve their interests, they helped her find work at a local factory. These leaders understood that their role was to serve all of their constituents, regardless of party. As Senator, Jaime will serve the many South Carolinians who face struggles like the ones his own family faced. He will work to build an economy where the American Dream is a reality, and the middle class feels within reach. Every American deserves the opportunity to earn a living wage and keep their family healthy. As Senator, Jaime will fight to ensure that there’s economic opportunity for folks like his mom, who are willing to work. As the COVID-19 pandemic bears down on South Carolina and the nation, we have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to reimagine our economy so that it rewards hard work and gives every family a fighting chance. Jaime’s agenda will spur growth, raise wages, and create jobs by investing in the American middle class. He supports expanding skill-training and apprenticeship opportunities, incentivizing innovation and small business creation across the state, and offering tax breaks to middle and working class families. He plans to raise the necessary revenues by repealing the 2017 tax cuts to big corporations and the ultra-wealthy. Protecting Seniors Neither of Jaime’s grandparents made it to high school. But they worked hard, and instilled in him the values that shape his character today. When Jaime was young, they lost their home and nearly everything else to a scam artist. Jaime vowed that one day he would purchase them a house so that they never had to worry again. Jaime kept that promise as soon as he graduated from law school. While Lindsey Graham says Medicare and Social Security are “promises we can’t keep,” Jaime understands that Medicare and Social Security are vital commitments that American seniors depend on. He will work every day to keep those commitments. That means standing up to politicians who want to privatize these vital programs or enact devastating cuts. Jaime will also work to shore up Social Security for future generations, but he will firmly oppose proposals to raise the retirement age or decrease benefits. Jaime will lead the efforts to lower the price of prescription drugs for seniors and increase benefits for low-income seniors who lose their spouses. He also knows that Medicare does not cover most seniors’ health care expenses, so he is committed to fighting for added coverage for vision and hearing. Ending Poverty Jaime rose up from poverty thanks to teachers and mentors who helped guide him to, and through, college. But he knows that his story is uncommon. For so many hard-working Americans, the American Dream is just that—a dream. Jaime understands that struggling families simply want a fair shot. That is why he will fight for an economy that gives every American family the hope for a better tomorrow, no matter their situation today. Jaime taught at his old high school, and has dedicated his life to creating opportunity for others. Jaime knows there is no quick fix to poverty, and he knows what it’s like for families to get caught in the middle of political games. He’ll champion policies aimed at making the American Dream a reality, including better jobs, better schools, clean air and water, child care, affordable housing, and a strong social safety net for those who need help getting back on their feet. He will also fight to increase the earned income tax credit, a proven way to help struggling families. In addition to this systemic fight to make an economy that works for working people, Jaime will tackle the root causes and consequences of poverty. He will increase funding for affordable housing and push back against bureaucratic zoning laws. He will advocate for good schools in every school district by boosting support for underfunded schools, retooling the teaching pipeline, and closing the digital divide. He will fight to expand Medicaid and work to ensure that healthcare is affordable and accessible for all. He will tackle food insecurity by eliminating food deserts, and ensuring resources for a new generation of produce farmers. Education for the 21st Century Jaime is where he is today because of the power of public education. It gave him, a poor kid from Orangeburg, a route out of poverty. Jaime believes education must build ladders for other hard working students to climb out of poverty and into the middle class. That’s why he believes passionately in investing in South Carolina’s schools and colleges, including our Historically Black Colleges and Universities. In the Senate, he will be a fierce champion for public schools, working to increase grants to rural schools, beef up teacher recruitment and retention efforts, and ensure our next Secretary of Education undoes the damage caused by Betsy DeVos. School districts across the country have been hit hard by COVID-19. Jaime will help schools respond to the pandemic with increased support for health-related modernizations and increased funding to shore up losses in state and local revenue. He will also fight for universal broadband access to ensure that no students are left behind by remote learning. And when it comes to reopening, Jaime will ensure that local communities retain control over decision-making. But South Carolina’s public schools are responsible for much more than academic development: in many communities, they serve as a much-needed resource for mental health, nutrition, and stability. Too many South Carolina schools lack enough teachers and resources to provide the basic opportunities students need, much less get ahead. Jaime is committed to ensuring that all kids can get a good education, no matter where they live in South Carolina. That means that schools in our poor and rural communities must get the resources they need for all children to achieve. It also means that the academic expectations and aspirations in all schools must be as high. Jaime will also work to ensure that there are affordable educational opportunities for all students after high school graduation, whether that pathway is technical school, vocational training, or a college degree. There are thousands of jobs that pay a living wage but are waiting to be filled because applicants do not possess all of the necessary skills. Jaime will work to bridge that divide by expanding educational opportunities in South Carolina that match the 21st century economy. Finally, Jaime and his family know the burden of student loans all too well. Jaime will fight to end the student loan crisis in this country and make college affordable for anyone willing to work hard. Defending Democracy Jaime’s passion for public service came at an early age when he learned that good citizens make good communities. Growing up, he made a point to learn all he could about government, and he credits his success in life to that foundation. But today, public confidence in our institutions is low. Politicians have replaced the respected leaders who used to run our country. Government corruption and fraud have undermined public trust. Gerrymandering gives elected officials the power to pick their voters. And campaign finance regulations have created an environment where dark money and corporate donors get an outsized say in politics. Jaime will fight to make our democracy fairer, by undoing the damage wrought by the disastrous Citizens United decision and ensuring that politicians do not receive personal profits from public office. Jaime has a deep appreciation for the enduring struggle that helped our nation become a more perfect union. As Senator, he will fight to preserve our fundamental rights—not because they are in his political interests, but because it is the necessary thing to do to protect our values. And Jaime knows the best way to restore confidence in our government is to instill a love of country and community in our young people. Child Care & Family Leave Growing up in a household where a missed day of work meant bills were not paid, Jaime has lived through the stress that confronts many South Carolina families. Today, Jaime and his wife, Marie, are two working parents of two young children so Jaime understands the importance of paid family leave. No parent should have to choose between their job and caring for their child, and no person should miss valuable moments with their loved ones because of work. With all the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, policies such as paid sick leave are critical—not only for individual workers but also for public health and the economy. As Senator, Jaime will champion paid family and sick leave as well as tax credits for child care because he understands that what is good for South Carolina families is good for our economy. Environment Having spent most of his life in South Carolina, Jaime remembers when historic floods happened once in a lifetime instead of regularly. Now, sea level rise in Charleston and the Southeast could cost our economy $47 billion. Droughts are causing wildfires in the Upstate, and stronger hurricanes and flooding put millions at risk. Climate change is an existential threat to our coastal communities, and it is beginning to affect areas that previously never had to consider emergency preparation. Jaime will take action to make our coastline resilient, protect our clean air and water, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and prepare our infrastructure for rising sea levels and increasingly powerful storms. He will also fight for South Carolinians by opposing any drilling off our pristine coast. The climate crisis also presents an opportunity for the United States to become a leader in renewable energy. Jaime supports efforts to increase research into energy-efficient technologies and alternative energy sources. In the meantime, Jaime believes we must make immediate investments in public transportation, resilient infrastructure, and carbon capture. These investments are not just good for our environment. They make economic sense as well. Additionally, Jaime recognizes the importance of stabilizing the communities most hurt by climate change. That is why he is proposing both an Environmental Justice Fund to reinvest in sustainable infrastructure in the hardest-hit communities as well as increased support for Superfund clean-up. National Security The first line of every Senator’s Oath of Office calls on them to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Jaime believes we cannot retreat from our responsibilities as a global leader, and he will continue to protect America’s national security as Senator. As a senior advisor to House Majority Whip James Clyburn, Jaime had the opportunity to travel overseas on official business. He saw conflict zones first-hand and learned the importance of maintaining America’s overwhelming military strength. Jaime understands that American security at home depends on American power abroad — military, diplomatic, and economic. As Senator, he will work to reinvigorate our fractured alliances, and pursue diplomatic solutions that prevent conflicts at home and abroad. That means pursuing a holistic foreign policy that considers global issues, like climate change and pandemics, while confronting threats to the United States. And rather than ignore the clear and present threat of election interference, Jaime will fight to protect the integrity of our democracy. Most importantly, Jaime knows that South Carolina is an integral piece of the international economy: America’s international alliances drive trade that strengthens our economy. In addition, Jaime knows that endless wars have cost us too many lives and too many dollars. Jaime will pursue a national security policy that prizes diplomacy, protects American interests, and benefits South Carolina’s economic security. Standing up for Veterans With six military bases and 37,507 active service members in South Carolina, Jaime grew up rooted in the knowledge that military service was a sacred assignment and that we must never break our promise to take care of those who have served our nation. He knows that our heroes make sacrifices for our country, and their service can often take a toll on their minds and bodies in a way that many civilians don’t understand. Even veterans with otherwise smooth departures from military service often find it difficult to reenter civilian life. One third of veterans end up taking jobs that are below their skill level, and 44 percent leave their first post-military jobs within a year. With this in mind, Jaime knows we must do everything we can to support our men and women in uniform. As a Senator, Jaime will hold the VA accountable to reduce wait times and improve the quality of care available to veterans. He’ll also increase access to mental health resources to treat PTSD and address the epidemic of veteran suicides. He will make sure veterans have access to job readiness programs that help navigate civilian life. And Jaime will fight for military base housing for those fighting for our country and their families. Jaime believes no veteran should struggle alone after serving their nation. Rebuilding South Carolina's Infrastructure Years ago, when Jaime was campaigning in rural South Carolina, he knocked on the door of a man completely disenchanted with politics. He lived on a dirt road, and he had been waiting for that road to be paved through five administrations. He was tired of waiting and had completely lost faith that his government would help him. For decades, his government had failed him. Jaime will push for aggressive investments in our infrastructure to ensure that the government addresses the problems Americans deal with everyday. He believes that universal access to affordable broadband must be a cornerstone of an economy built for the next generation of workers. He will fight to modernize the state’s sanitation systems and end the lead crisis that is poisoning our children’s water sources. And he will upgrade the state’s roads and bridges so that they meet the highest standards of safety and encourage commercial activity. Across South Carolina, hundreds of miles of roads are crumbling, bridges need urgent repairs, high-speed broadband internet skips over our rural areas, and sea-level rise threatens our sea ports. Failure to invest in infrastructure harms our quality of life and raises the cost of doing business. Addressing these shortfalls will save South Carolina residents money, enable local companies to thrive, and grow our economy. Criminal Justice Reform The American criminal justice system is in dire need of reform. Too many non-violent offenders have been locked up for decades because of unfair sentencing laws. Jaime understands the ways that the law has been used to disproportionately target communities. As Senator, Jaime will fight for a justice system that stands for real justice. And he will work to counteract the built-in biases of the criminal justice system. Previous generations witnessed the tragedy of Emmett Till and today we have lived through the tragic and heartbreaking stories of so many others. Too many families, including Jaime’s own, have been devastated by violence, long prison sentences, and generally a lack of opportunity. Jaime understands racial profiling, bias, injustice and over-policing have plagued our communities for generations. He believes we must end qualified immunity, private prisons and the cash bail system. In addition, Jaime believes we must work together to build safer communities, bring jobs back to our neighborhoods, invest in our schools and rebuild broken families devastated by unjust policies and practices like racial profiling. Rural Hope Agenda Friends, South Carolina is a special place, blessed with incredible people with a passion for helping others. We truly live up to our state motto, “While I breathe, I hope.” My life is a testament that South Carolina is a place where if you work hard and live by good values, you can do anything. But our current U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has very different priorities. For far too long, Sen. Graham focused on playing political games in Washington while leaving millions of South Carolinians suffering – especially residents of rural communities. I believe every South Carolinian deserves leadership that will put them first. South Carolina is a better state when every one of our state’s 46 counties receives the resources to improve their communities. Across South Carolina, hundreds of miles of roads are crumbling, bridges need urgent repairs, high-speed broadband internet skips over our rural areas, and sea-level rise threatens our ports. Together, the failure to invest in infrastructure harms our quality of life and raises the cost of doing business. My Rural Hope Agenda is focused on revitalizing rural infrastructure, fighting for better healthcare statewide, and creating good-paying jobs that spark economic growth. As Senator, I will push for aggressive investments in our infrastructure to ensure that the government fulfills its most basic duties. I will help build a state that supports the needs of its residents and businesses, and ensures our economic viability now and into the future. Please take a look at this Rural Hope Agenda, because it is your plan. Let me know if you have some ideas that I should know about. You can email me at jaime@jaimeharrison.com. Thanks for your interest and your support, Jaime Harrison	”

  Delegate allocation

  See also: 2016 presidential nominations: calendar and delegate rules

  

  South Carolina had 59 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 53 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.

  Six party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.
