Brownstein breaks fundraising record, gains momentum as election day approaches

State Democrats believe that 2020 may be the year in which they finally flip the Lowcountry. Daniel Brownstein is key to that.

Brownstein, the Democratic candidate for South Carolina’s House District 112, recently broke a fundraising record for the district, raising $71,517.22 from over six hundred contributions to his campaign in the fiscal period that ended on October 14th. For reference, during the 2018 election cycle, candidates of the Charleston district raised a combined $59,514 — twelve thousand dollars less than Brownstein’s newly-set individual record per Ballotpedia. 

While Brownstein’s financial success is impressive on its own, in contrast with his Republican opponent, the numbers bode extremely well for November 3rd. Joe Bustos, the Republican candidate for House District 112, raised just over six thousand dollars in the same period, four thousand of which was a personal contribution from the candidate. 

This record-setting quarter confirms what we’ve been saying all along: Brownstein is the right choice for the Lowcountry. The Democratic candidate has conducted a campaign built on unity and solving the real problems that face his district, and clearly voters agree with his message. 

“My wife Pamela and I are a working couple who understand the difficulties of raising a family during these scary times,” Brownstein stated in a press release. “It has become clear that the partisan politics and politicians of yesterday are not serving us well. I am genuine, hardworking and am ready to hit the ground running on behalf of all our district’s residents.”


Whether he’s fighting domestic violence as a member of the Board of Directors for the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault or advocating for necessary mask ordinances to the Mount Pleasant Town Council, Brownstein has demonstrated a commitment to promoting the interests of his neighbors, not partisan politics. This makes him the right choice for the voters of House District 112 this November.

Mount Pleasant approves mask ordinance while Republicans remain silent

In a 5-4 vote on Tuesday, the Mount Pleasant Town Council approved a new mask ordinance that will require all patrons and employees to wear a face covering while inside grocery stores, pharmacies, and other businesses.

Daniel Brownstein, Democratic candidate for House District 112, live-tweeted the council meeting and expressed his support for the passage of the ordinance.

“It’s been a long night. I am proud of the members of the Town Council who cut through the nonsense tonight and made a decision that is in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of this community,” Brownstein wrote. “Leadership isn’t always easy but it is always worthwhile.”

While the approval of a mask ordinance is a step forward for Mount Pleasant, there has been notable silence from Lowcountry Republicans surrounding the measure.

Joe Bustos, the Republican candidate running against Brownstein for House District 112, formerly served on the Mount Pleasant Town Council before being voted out in 2019. This makes his silence on the matter even stranger and further begs the question: where does the Republican candidate stand on COVID-19 safety precautions like the enforcement of face coverings?

Voters of District 112 may take comfort in knowing that at least one of their candidates is committed to stopping the spread of COVID-19, both in Mount Pleasant and across the state. Following the Council’s vote, Brownstein tweeted: “I will continue to push for state leadership on [COVID] so that our town and county councils aren’t put in the position of setting public health policy like they were tonight.”
