Jaime Harrison and his mother, Patricia Stewart, reveal why he is running for the 2020 Senate seat in South Carolina. Even knowing it is a challenging race, Harrison is doing it for the people of his home state as the conditions in health care, education, economy and more are at the bottom of U.S. state rankings.

STEWART: A couple of years ago, Jaime said, "Mom, I'm thinking about running for Senator."
He said, "Mom, I just want to help people.
I just want to make sure everybody okay."
- Where we go across the state of South Carolina... HARRISON (voiceover): The attraction of politics to me is, an opportunity to really go out and to improve the lives of people.
South Carolina is my home, I love it.
But, when you look at South Carolina, she is at the top of all of the bad lists and at the bottom of all the good lists.
And part of that is that persistence poverty.
You know, it is where you see the greatest disparities in health and healthcare issues.
It's where you see the schools that are falling apart.
MAN: Good for sound.
HARRISON: I hope that our campaign can help folks understand that it's just about having someone who can fight for you, your family, and your community.
I approve this message, because this election's not a choice between left and right, it's between right and wrong.
