John Vincent

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I'm John Gregory Vincent, a 20-year Navy veteran who served as Command Master Chief, a small business owner, and a leadership expert running to represent South Carolina's 7th Congressional District. Raised in a working-class family, I understand the challenges facing everyday Americans. My military career taught me the importance of putting country before self and fighting for my team - values I'll bring to Congress. After retiring from the Navy, I built a successful small business, giving me firsthand experience with the challenges entrepreneurs face. I'm running because I believe we need more common sense and less chaos in Washington. My campaign is focused on fiscal responsibility, strengthening our economy for working families, and keeping our promises to veterans. I'm not interested in partisan games - I'm interested in delivering results for the people of SC-07."

Building an Economy That Works for Everyone - I'll champion tax relief for working families, support job creation through partnerships with community colleges, cut red tape for small businesses, invest in infrastructure, and work to make healthcare more affordable.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

John Vincent (D)

I'm particularly passionate about veterans affairs, having served 20 years in the Navy. I've seen firsthand the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life and accessing healthcare. I'm also deeply committed to economic policies that support working families and small businesses. Having built my own business, I understand what entrepreneurs need to succeed. Additionally, I'm passionate about disaster preparedness and response, which is critical for our coastal communities in SC-07. Finally, I believe in fiscal responsibility that doesn't sacrifice essential programs that our citizens depend on.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

John Vincent (D)

I would recommend "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin, which chronicles Lincoln's decision to include political opponents in his cabinet. This book exemplifies my belief that good governance requires considering diverse perspectives and putting the country's interests above partisan advantage. It demonstrates how principled leadership can unite people with different views around common goals - something desperately needed in today's polarized environment. The book shows that effective leadership isn't about imposing one's will, but about finding common ground while maintaining core principles. Of course, I also recommend reading my book, Up Periscope: Putting Traditional Leadership in The Crosshairs. This book is a guide to effective leadership development and decision making through diversity and inclusion.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

John Vincent (D)

"From my 20 years as a Navy Command Master Chief and my experience as a small business owner, I've learned that the most important characteristics for any leader – especially an elected official – are integrity, accountability, and service.

Integrity means being honest with your constituents even when the truth is difficult or unpopular. It means standing by your principles and making decisions based on what's right, not what's politically expedient. In the Navy, we lived by a code of honor, and I believe our elected officials should be held to that same standard.

Accountability is essential in public service. Officials must take responsibility for their decisions and be transparent about their motives and actions. The people of South Carolina's 7th District deserve a representative who will answer to them, not to special interests or party leadership. As I've emphasized in my campaign, we need to restore accountability to Washington.

Service is at the core of my life's work. An elected official must remember that they work for the people, not the other way around. This position isn't about personal gain or power – it's about improving the lives of those you represent. My campaign message of 'Common Sense over Chaos' reflects my commitment to practical, service-oriented leadership.

Additionally, I believe elected officials need empathy to truly understand the diverse needs of their constituents, courage to make difficult decisions when necessary, and the wisdom to know when to stand firm on principles and when to find common ground. These are the qualities I've tried to embody throughout my career, and they're what I'll bring to Congress if elected to represent SC-07."

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

John Vincent (D)

The core responsibilities of a Representative include faithfully representing the interests of all constituents - not just those who voted for you. This means being accessible, listening to concerns, and responding to needs regardless of political affiliation. It means crafting and supporting legislation that benefits your district while considering the national interest. It requires oversight of government agencies to ensure they're serving the public effectively. Most importantly, it means maintaining integrity, transparency, and accountability in all actions. A Representative must be a voice for their district in Washington while bringing resources and solutions back home.

What legacy would you like to leave?

John Vincent (D)

I want to be remembered as someone who brought common sense back to Congress - a Representative who put practical solutions above partisan politics. I hope to leave a legacy of improved services for veterans, stronger economic opportunities for working families, and a more prepared and resilient SC-07. I want constituents to say I was accessible, honest, and effective - that I kept my promises and always put their interests first. Ultimately, I hope to help restore faith in government by demonstrating that public service can and should be about improving people's lives, not scoring political points.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

John Vincent (D)

The House is uniquely positioned as the legislative body closest to the people, with members elected every two years and representing smaller constituencies than Senators. This design makes the House more responsive to changing public sentiment and local concerns. The House's exclusive power to initiate revenue bills gives it special responsibility for fiscal matters. Its larger size compared to the Senate allows for greater diversity of viewpoints and backgrounds. These qualities make the House the people's house - where the immediate concerns of communities across America can be addressed through responsive representation.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

John Vincent (D)

While traditional political experience can be valuable, I believe what's most beneficial for representatives is having diverse real-world experience and a genuine commitment to public service. My own Navy background and experience a small business owner has prepared me for Congress in ways that are different from, but just as valuable as, previous government experience.

In the military, I learned how to lead diverse teams through complex challenges, make difficult decisions under pressure, and put mission and country above self-interest. These are precisely the skills needed in Congress today. As Command Master Chief, I was responsible for the welfare and effectiveness of hundreds of sailors, managing substantial resources, and implementing policies from higher command while advocating for those under my leadership—experiences that parallel the representative's role of implementing laws while advocating for constituents. As a small business owner, I've experienced firsthand the impact of government policies on job creation, regulatory compliance, and economic growth. This perspective is crucial when crafting legislation that affects American businesses and workers.

What Congress often lacks isn't political experience—it has plenty of career politicians. What it needs more of is practical leadership experience, common sense, and the ability to work effectively with people of different backgrounds and viewpoints to accomplish shared goals. It needs people who understand the real-world implications of policies on families, businesses, and communities.

That said, I recognize the value of understanding legislative processes and government operations. That's why I'm taking the time to study how Congress works and build relationships with experienced public servants who can provide guidance. I believe my leadership background, combined with a willingness to listen listen and learn, will allow me to be effective from day one.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

John Vincent (D)

I see several critical challenges facing our country in the coming decade that require common-sense leadership rather than partisan chaos.

First, we face the challenge of rebuilding an economy that truly works for everyone. The growing divide between the wealthy and working families threatens our national cohesion and economic stability. We need to create an economy where hard work is rewarded with fair wages, where small businesses can thrive without being crushed by red tape, and where every American has access to affordable healthcare. This means investing in job training programs that prepare workers for high-demand industries, supporting infrastructure projects that create good jobs while improving our communities, and ensuring that tax policies benefit the middle class, not just the wealthy.

Second, we must address the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, particularly in coastal communities like ours in SC-07. Climate-related challenges will require significant investments in disaster preparedness, infrastructure resilience, and emergency response capabilities. As someone who has criticized my opponent for voting to defund critical FEMA programs, I understand that preparing for these challenges isn't partisan—it's practical.

Third, we need to heal the dangerous political division that threatens our democracy. The extreme partisanship in Washington has paralyzed our ability to solve problems and eroded public trust in government. As a military leader, I learned that accomplishing the mission requires bringing people together despite their differences. We need to restore civility and compromise to our political discourse while still standing firm on core principles.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

John Vincent (D)

While I understand the appeal of term limits as a way to prevent career politicians and bring fresh perspectives to Congress, I believe voters should ultimately decide who represents them. That said, I support exploring reasonable term limit proposals that would prevent the entrenchment of power while still allowing effective legislators to serve long enough to develop expertise and accomplish meaningful goals. Any term limit system should be designed to enhance democracy, not restrict voters' choices unnecessarily.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

John Vincent (D)

Compromise is absolutely essential for effective policymaking in our diverse democracy. My military background taught me that accomplishing the mission often requires finding common ground with people of different perspectives. Rigid ideological positions lead to gridlock, not solutions. Effective compromise doesn't mean abandoning core principles, but rather finding areas of agreement to make incremental progress. The greatest legislative achievements in American history have resulted from good-faith compromise. In Congress, I'll work with anyone, regardless of party, who is serious about solving problems for the American people.

What committees interest you?

John Vincent (D)

Given my background and the needs of SC-07, I would seek to serve on the Veterans' Affairs Committee to advocate for improved healthcare and benefits for those who served. The Small Business Committee would allow me to apply my experience as a business owner to help entrepreneurs thrive. Given our district's vulnerability to hurricanes and flooding, the Homeland Security Committee would enable me to work on disaster preparedness and FEMA reform. Finally, the Armed Services Committee would be a natural fit given my military experience and the importance of defense issues to South Carolina.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

John Vincent (D)

"Financial transparency and government accountability are fundamental pillars of a functioning democracy and central to my campaign's message of 'Common Sense over Chaos.'

Throughout my career, I learned that accountability isn't just a buzzword—it's essential to effective leadership and mission success. In Congress, I'll bring that same commitment to ensuring our government works for the people, not special interests.

Financial transparency is non-negotiable. Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how their hard-earned money is being spent. I support strengthening disclosure requirements for government spending at all levels and making this information readily accessible to the public. Too often, wasteful spending is hidden in massive, complex legislation that few have time to read. This practice must end.

Government accountability extends beyond finances. It means ensuring that agencies fulfill their missions effectively and efficiently. It means elected officials answering directly to their constituents, not party leadership or donors. And it means having the courage to admit mistakes and correct course when necessary.

Unlike my opponent, who has contributed to Washington's dysfunction through extreme partisanship, I'll work to restore trust in our institutions through common-sense reforms that increase transparency and accountability. This includes supporting bipartisan efforts to strengthen ethics rules, limit the influence of special interests, and ensure that government agencies like FEMA are properly funded and held accountable for delivering results.

In the military, we lived by a code of honor and accountability. I believe our government should operate by those same principles. If elected, I'll fight every day to make sure that happens."
