On Civil Rights: Opposes voters having to provide Social Security numbers

Harrison called the lawsuit "a strong step" in the fight to protect voting rights in the state. "This unconstitutional requirement has forced almost one million eligible South Carolina voters, including over 400,000 people of color, from being able to register in the state. The people of South Carolina deserve better from their leaders," Harrison said in a statement. South Carolina is one of five states that require voters to provide their Social Security numbers.

On Gun Control: Endorsed by Everytown for Gun Safety for gun-sense majority

Everytown for Gun Safety threw its support behind 11 Democratic Senate candidates including Jaime Harrison in South Carolina.

"Everytown is going all-in to flip the Senate and elect leaders who will treat America's gun violence epidemic like the crisis it is," the Everytown President said. The group has targeted a number of key races in the House and Senate, emphasizing the need to protect what it calls a "gun sense majority," which is mostly comprised of Democratic candidates.
