WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, congratulates Rep. April McClain Delaney (MD-06) and Nancy Lacore (SC-01) on their victories tonight in Maryland and South Carolina.
“Elect Democratic Women is proud to congratulate Congresswoman April McClain Delaney and Nancy Lacore on their victories tonight. April has spent her time in Congress fighting for working families and economic opportunity, and Nancy — a veteran who has dedicated her career to service — is exactly the kind of woman we need joining her as an advocate for South Carolina in Congress. EDW is proud to stand behind both of them heading into November,” said EDW Executive Director, Liz Gallagher.
Rep. April McClain Delaney, MD-06: Rep. April McClain Delaney is a mother of four, a community advocate, and a nonprofit leader who has served Maryland’s 6th District since 2025. Throughout her career and in Congress, she has fought for working families, expanded broadband access, and championed children’s online safety. Congresswoman McClain Delaney will advance to the general election to defend this critical seat for Democrats.
Nancy Lacore, SC-01: Nancy Lacore is a retired Navy three-star admiral who spent 35 years in uniform, rising from helicopter pilot to Chief of the Navy Reserve, where she led more than 60,000 sailors. Now she’s bringing that same leadership and commitment to South Carolina’s 1st District, where she will compete in the general election this November.
