Former Gamecocks wide receiver Moe Brown announced Wednesday that he’s running for Congress. According to his website MoeForCongress.com, Brown is running in the 5th Congressional District.
He announced his candidacy via social media, which included a video below.
“I’ve led teams my entire life,” Brown, 31, said in a statement via TheState.com. “Right now Washington needs leaders who can bring people together and start delivering real results for working families. We are more divided than we’ve ever been in my lifetime and Congress seems more interested in playing politics than solving problems.”
I’m Moe Brown and this is my story.
Whether it’s scoring touchdowns for the Gamecocks or helping to recruit 5,000 jobs and $1 billion in new investment to our state, I’ve spent my life fighting for South Carolina. Now I’m running for Congress.
