THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES NANCY LACORE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA’S 1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 420 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.

Nancy Lacore is running to represent South Carolina’s First Congressional District after a 35-year career in the U.S. Navy. Her service began as a Navy helicopter pilot and culminated in senior command as the 16th Chief of Navy Reserve and Commander, Navy Reserve Force. Lacore also held major operational and institutional leadership roles, including Vice Commander of U.S. Sixth Fleet, Chief of Staff for U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa, Commandant of Naval District Washington, and commander of Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti. Her background brings senior military command, overseas operational leadership, Navy Reserve management, and direct national-security experience to her candidacy.

Nancy Lacore demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, and upholds the democratic norms that the organization’s criteria require.

“Experience matters. Judgment matters. Respect for the Constitution matters. Vice Adm. Lacore brings all three, and we believe she will strengthen Congress’s ability to fulfill its Article I responsibilities,” said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
