I was honored to serve my country for 20 years in the dangerous undersea world of submarines. On my team, merit mattered. Service mattered. Dedication mattered. In fact, our diversity made us stronger. Hell, I even wrote a whole book on it – The Submarine Way! Kicking men and women off the ladder of success for the color of their skin or their gender is EXACTLY the MAGA backwardness I’m running for Congress to stop. I am a proud father, husband, small business owner, and US Navy Veteran. I'm

BREAKING: a new poll just put our race for Congress in South Carolina’s 7th in a dead heat, neck-and-neck tie! Navy Command Master Chief (Ret.) John Vincent here, and this is the best damn news I’ve heard all year. Why? Because this race was a DOUBLE DIGIT “safe red” seat before we started this campaign. But in 12 short months, we’ve taken it from a long shot to a toss-up. That kind of momentum is practically unheard of. No one thought we could win this race. No one thought I could tur

I'm John Vincent, the Democratic nominee for South Carolina's 7th Congressional District. I was honored to serve my country for 20 years in the dangerous undersea world of submarines.

Marion County said no. Behind closed doors, under NDAs, with taxpayers kept in the dark, a secret data center was being pushed on our community. Neighbors packed the room, fought back, and shut it down. So where was Russell Fry? On the House Energy & Commerce Committee, he voted twice for a 10-year ban on local control, the same local control Marion County used to protect itself. Then, on the debate stage, he called it “unacceptable.” Why the change? Since joining that committee, Fry has tak

We just launched our first ad for the General Election. For 20 years, I served in the dangerous undersea world of nuclear submarines. Protect our Country, protect my crew. That was my mission. My mission now is to protect working families. I will work like hell to lower costs, and I'm looking forward to taking on political corruption. I'm asking for your support on November 3rd.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
