What Mo Has Delivered for District 31

The Trump administration and Republicans in Columbia are on the attack — cutting programs working families depend on, making life more expensive, and cutting our healthcare. In moments like this, leadership matters. District 31 needs a representative who shows up and fights.

Mo Abusaft has spent his career taking on the hard fights — and winning. As a civil rights attorney, NAACP President, and Spartanburg County Councilman, Mo has delivered real results for real people against real opposition. The people of District 31 are working people. We believe if you want to keep your job, you have to go to work. That’s exactly how Mo has operated — and that’s how he’ll operate in the State House.

As Spartanburg NAACP President, successfully fought to ensure police wore body cameras on the line of duty.

Founded Spartanburg Juneteenth Inc. — the organization that founded the Spartanburg Juneteenth Celebration for the entire county.

On County Council, led the charge to oust corrupt Sheriff Chuck Wright, took down the Confederate Flag off of I-85, delivered millions to small and minority businesses through Power Up Spartanburg, and passed the Spartanburg County Citizens Review Board — all through a Republican supermajority on County Council.

Delivered millions in road and infrastructure improvements across District 1 through Capital Penny funding, with more than 20 projects completed or underway. Secured a $20M federal Safe Streets grant for pedestrian and traffic safety.

Helped initiate Power Up Spartanburg — a $6M public investment leveraged to nearly $16M — with 2,500 small and minority-owned businesses served through capital access, mentorship, and contract-readiness support.

Directed $1M+ to demolish blighted properties in Una, Saxon, and Arcadia; created an emergency home repair program to keep families in their homes and an affordable housing revolving loan fund.

State House Vision

What Mo will fight for next

  • Affordability: Expand down-payment assistance, increase affordable rentals through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, and fight back against rising insurance costs squeezing families and small businesses.
  • Small & Minority Business: Bring the Power Up Spartanburg model statewide — expanding access to capital and growing contract opportunities for Black entrepreneurs and small business owners across South Carolina.
  • Law Enforcement Accountability: Push for stronger oversight of sheriffs’ offices and reform the SC Tort Claims Act so people harmed by government overreach get real justice, not just a ruling in their favor.
  • Break the Supermajority: Work to flip majority-minority districts and restore balance in the State House — because one-party rule has pushed South Carolina to extremes and left working families behind.
  • Education & Opportunity: Invest in HBCUs, technical colleges, and trade programs so first-generation students can build a future without drowning in debt
