U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
2018 U.S. election in South Carolina's 1st district[edit]
Cunningham was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections, defeating Republican Katie Arrington by just over 1% of the vote.[3]
Tenure[edit]
Cunningham voted in favor of the Climate Action Now Act on May 2, 2019.[4]
On May 17, 2019, Rep. Cunningham voted along with his party line in favor of the radical Equality Act.[5]
Cunningham voted in favor of condemning Donald Trump's supposedly “racist” comments.[6]
Cunningham voted against the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019.[7]
Rep. Cunningham voted in December 2019 in favor of the left-wing bill H.R.3.[8]
Cunningham voted along with his Democrat colleagues in favor of the sham impeachment resolutions brought against Donald Trump.[9]
Cunningham voted in favor of the implementation of the USMCA.[10]
In February 2020, Rep. Cunningham joined six House Democrats in voting with the majority of Republicans against the Democrat-led bill Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019.[11]
2020 election[edit]
Despite fake election ratings,[12][13] Cunningham lost re-election by a very narrow margin in the 2020 elections to Republican opponent Nancy Mace, a state representative.[14] His defeat was largely attributed to being unable to overcome a strong challenge in the mostly Republican-leaning district, particularly in not winning over enough voters on the issue of offshore drilling unlike in 2018.[15]
