Columbia, SC- The South Carolina Democratic Party filled two senior staff positions with experienced political operatives this summer. Jessica Church joined the South Carolina Democratic Party as Political Director and Diane May will now serve as the Party’s Communications Director.
“Jessica and Diane are smart, creative, and incredibly talented,” SCDP Executive Director Jason Perkey said. “We are building a party and a professional staff that is dedicated to bringing people together for something bigger and better than ourselves. Adding dedicated people like Jessica and Diane is another step in that direction.”
A native of Roanoke, VA, Jessica Church comes to South Carolina after serving as political director and aide to the senior advisor of Correct The Record, a democratic superPAC in Washington, DC.
