Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Mauricus "Moe" Brown was born in Belton, South Carolina to his 16 year-old mother. Being raised in a zip code where success is hard to come by, Moe would later become the first in his family to graduate college. His success didn't come without setbacks, including the loss of his brother and father. Moe became a standout wide receiver for the University of South Carolina Gamecock football team from 2006 to 2009, serving as captain his senior year. Moe left USC with a double major in Marketing and Finance, and a deep desire to serve his home state. After graduating from USC, Moe worked for six years under Republican Governor Nikki Haley at the South Carolina Department of Commerce. Moe traveled the world and helped recruit over 5,000 new jobs to the Palmetto State and nearly $1 billion in new capital investment. For five years, Moe served as a member, including a year as President, of the University of South Carolina Association of Letterman, an organization made up of all former student athletes at USC. From 2014 to 2019, Moe served on the Board of Visitors of the University of South Carolina and Darla Moore School Young Alumni Board.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Restoring American leadership that focuses on putting people before political party and personal power while serving in office.
• Decreasing the cost of healthcare and increasing access across South Carolina.
• Working with South Carolinians and Business Leaders to refocus on putting People before Profits and increase economic opportunity across the state.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I brought over 5,000 jobs to South Carolina and over a billion dollars in economic development to mostly rural towns in South Carolina. I've traveled all across the globe selling South Carolina to some of the biggest business leaders in the world. I'm not done working to grow our economy, help our people succeed and make sure every kid from a small town in South Carolina, no matter their financial situation, can grow up to do anything and be anyone.

I want to continue that work in Congress, and help bring everyone back to the table so that we can focus on long term growth and stability that will benefit both corporations and the people that make them work.
