Wanda Moore Community Service Award Nominations Open
Nominations are now open for the 2026 Wanda Moore Community Servant Award to be given at the upcoming Carnell Drummond Mays banquet.
Wanda Moore (1960-2022) was the first Community Care Movement Director of the Greenwood County Democratic Party. She spent countless hours organizing and participating in community service activities. She was a true servant of the people, never seeking recognition for her hard work.
In that spirit, in 2022 we launched the first Wanda Moore Community Service Award to recognize one who demonstrates service and education to the community. This is an individual who does not regularly make the newspapers or receives awards for their work. However, their contributions to the neighborhoods of Greenwood County are well known.
Submit your nomination by Sat, July 25!

10 Commandments in SC Schools
From Nick Sottile, Executive Director of the SC House Democrats:
Thou Shalt Not Debate. That was the message of the Republican majority when they invoked cloture – a procedural move that severely limits speaking time and blocks amendments from being filed – just in minutes into the debate over H. 4762, a bill to require the 10 Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms.
Many House Democrats are people of deep faith. Rep. Wendell Jones (D-Greenville), who is a pastor, emphasized his Christian faith in his remarks opposing the bill: “[I]t is because I love my faith – not in spite of it – that I oppose the mandatory 10 Commandments posting.” Rep. Jones went on to say, “I do not want the name of Jesus associated with coercion. I want it associated with compassion and conviction.” He noted that the Founding Fathers established a separation of church and state – which radicals like Rep. Jordan Pace (R-Berkeley) openly oppose. Moreover, Rep. Jones corrected the record about the bill’s legality…
