I am Octavia Amaechi, a family physician in Upstate South Carolina, community advocate, and mother of three. For nearly 15 years, I’ve cared for families across the Upstate.

Now, I am running for the South Carolina Senate to bring a physician’s perspective to policy-making. Bad policies limit my ability to provide quality care, and I’m committed to changing that by advocating for smarter healthcare solutions that truly benefit our community.

I’ve seen the challenges we face: unreliable healthcare access, barriers to education, and a lack of affordable services like housing and transportation. These issues affect our well-being far beyond what any medical procedure can fix.

For the first time in decades, voters have a choice on the ballot in the SC Senate District 12 election. You deserve a representative who understands these struggles and will fight for a healthier future.

With leadership experience in healthcare policy and volunteer work, my role as an advocate for Upstate SC makes me the uniquely qualified SC state election candidate to represent you. Vote for Dr. Octavia Amaechi — for the health of our community!
