Joseph Kendrick “Joe” Cunningham is a lawyer and Democrat politician currently representing South Carolina's 1st district in the United States House of Representatives. Cunningham is a member of the Blue Dog Coalition and the New Democrat Coalition. A sleazy liberal hypocrite, he denounces lobbyists yet worked as one to lobby for a yacht club in Florida.[2]

U.S. House of Representatives

2018 U.S. election in South Carolina's 1st district

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

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

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]
