Jermaine didn't grow up with privilege or political connections. He grew up in poverty, surrounded by gun violence and homelessness. His family lived in motels. He lost his brother at just five years old.
But he turned pain into purpose.
Basketball earned him a scholarship to the College of Charleston, where he went on to become team captain before playing professionally overseas. When he returned home, he earned his doctorate and founded a nonprofit that helps working people get the skills they need to build a better life.
And when the political establishment kept making excuses? He took on a 22-year incumbent – and won.
That's why this is good news for Democrats and bad news for Republicans.
Jermaine Johnson is the kind of leader who can energize voters, build a coalition across the state, and show what real public service looks like in the South.
Will you split a donation today to help launch his campaign with the strength it deserves?
