Reason for Seeking Public Office:

My name is Dimitri Cherny and I'm running to replace Mark Sanford in Congress. I'm very concerned about the corrupting influence big money - billionaire money - is having on our politics, our government, our businesses and the bleak future it forebodes for our kids and grandkids. After a long successful career in the high-tech industry, followed by a fall into homelessness and then truck driving after the great recession, I studied economics and learned that the free-market is not a law of nature. The free-market is a game with rules that we-the-people determine via legislation created by our elected representatives. I want to make America the place where we ARE our brother's keeper - where we ensure that every American, regardless of the advantages they were born with or without, with forty hours a week of doing ANY job, can live a comfortable, safe and fulfilling life without fear of financial failure from unforeseen medical expenses, college debts, or off-shoring of their job. I want to make America into a country where people are less interested in becoming obscenely wealthy and are more interested in doing good and leaving a hopeful future for our kids and grandkids. That's why I'm running as a Democrat for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District - the Lowcountry's seat in the US House of Representatives. Join my fight for Economic Justice for ALL of us and leave our kids and grandkids a better world.
