Show Notes
Alvin Greene, the unemployed Army veteran who won the Democratic Senate nomination in South Carolina in 2010 without a campaign, has passed away at 48. Despite spending minimal funds and skipping campaign activities, Greenes pro-South Carolina message resonated with voters, earning him the states first Black major-party Senate nomination. His victory, however, was met with confusion, as party leaders struggled to explain his success. Greenes past, including his Army discharge and obscenity charge, was later scrutinized. After losing the general election, Greene remained unemployed and attempted another race, finishing last. He was born in Florence, South Carolina, in 1977 and held a political science degree.
