About Monier

A Leader for Our Community

Meet Monier “Mo” Abusaft

Mo has never stopped fighting for the community that raised him. As an attorney, he has stood up for people without a voice, delivered justice for the wrongly accused, and challenged failures in the criminal justice system.

A Record of Fighting for Spartanburg

Mo has never stopped fighting for the community that raised him. As an attorney, he has stood up for people without a voice, delivered justice for the wrongly accused, and challenged failures in the criminal justice system.

On County Council, he has worked to deliver millions in funding to the community, support job creation, rebuild neighborhoods, attract new investment, and strengthen small and minority-owned businesses. He also helped lead the effort to remove the Confederate battle flag from I-85 and fought to remove corrupt Sheriff Chuck Wright from office.

Legal and Public Service Background

After earning his Juris Doctorate from Vanderbilt, Mo returned to Spartanburg to serve as a law clerk for State Circuit Court Judge J. Mark Hayes, then joined the South Carolina Supreme Court under Chief Justice Costa Pleicones.

Civil Justice Leadership

Mo is a graduate of the American Association for Justice Leadership Academy and serves on both the American Association for Justice Board of Governors and the South Carolina Association for Justice Board of Governors. He also represents South Carolina on the American Association for Justice Board, helping advocate for a civil justice system that protects ordinary people and holds powerful institutions accountable.

Mo helped initiate Power Up Spartanburg, the largest investment in minority and small business development in the history of Spartanburg County. What began as a $6 million public investment of American Rescue Plan funds was leveraged into nearly $16 million through public-private partnerships, creating a comprehensive ecosystem of capital access, technical assistance, mentorship, and contract-readiness support. Today, Power Up stands as the center of our county’s small and minority business ecosystem.
