Gloria Bromell Tinubu

Last updated

Having joined the Democratic Party in South Carolina, in 2012 Bromell Tinubu ran for the Democratic nomination in the newly created 7th congressional district.

Having returned to South Carolina, she entered state politics. In 2012, she ran as a Democrat for Congress in South Carolina's newly established 7th congressional district against state representative Ted Vick and Myrtle Beach attorney Preston Brittain. Vick dropped out of the race prior to the primary. She had won the Democratic primary for the district seat with 73% of the votes. [19] She is the first African-American woman in South Carolina to win her party's nomination for Congress. [20]

The South Carolina Election Commission declared Bromell Tinubu as the primary winner, but a judge ruled that the votes cast for Vick had to be counted. That dropped her percentage of the vote total below the 50 percent threshold needed to win the primary. Two weeks later, she beat Brittain in a primary runoff with 73 percent of the vote. Brittain had the endorsement of key Democratic leaders, including U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn and former governor Jim Hodges. [21]

Bromell Tinubu lost the election to Republican Tom Rice; he carried 56 percent of the votes to her 44 percent.

2014 congressional campaign

In 2014, she ran against Rice again, but she lost by bigger margins than in 2012. Rice won with 60% or 102,576 votes; Bromell Tinubu had 40% and 68,412 votes. [22]

2018 Gubernatorial Race

In 2018, Tinubu was selected by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Noble to be his lieutenant governor running mate. James Smith ultimately won the Democratic nomination [23]

2020 United States Senate Race

In May 2019, Tinubu announced a run for United States Senate, challenging Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham. [24] She campaigned on the theme, 'Reshaping America: Economic Justice Tour'. [25] Tinubu joined Democrat Jaime Harrison in competing for the nomination. [26] In January 2020, Tinubu dropped out of the race, endorsing Harrison. [27]
