LiberalMind endorses Sheri Biggs
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and voting is already underway in South Carolina. This is the whole race on the record we could verify.
The setup
South Carolina's 3rd District — the northwestern Piedmont: Abbeville, Anderson, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, and Saluda Counties plus part of Greenville (SCIWAY) — is held by Rep. Sheri Biggs (R), elected in 2024 with 71.7%, now in her first term. The race is Solid R at compilation strength, on that margin. SCIWAY and the Greenville News agree on the three-name ballot: Biggs; Eunice Lehmacher (D); and Brian Corriea (Libertarian — spelled "Corriea" in both SCIWAY and the Greenville News, and in Wikipedia's website list).
Sheri Biggs (Republican)
Biggs's verified headline is the margin: she took this seat with better than 71% in 2024 and holds it as a freshman. (Her standard biographical background appears in compilations but was not retrieved from a 2026 source in this pass; we do not print it as verified.)
Pros: A proven incumbent who won the seat by a landslide in her first attempt and now defends it on the state's most lopsided recent margin in this batch.
Cons: A freshman file is a short file; nothing in it yet documents a signature legislative mark. That is a statement about tenure, not a documented flaw — and no flaw of service is documented against her at proven strength.
The flaw, plainly: None located. The finding stands as written.
Eunice Lehmacher (Democratic)
Lehmacher is the Democratic nominee in all sources. Our research located no occupation record for her in this pass beyond the candidacy; the Greenville News gathered her priorities from campaign materials.
Pros: She is a contested nominee in a district her party often leaves unrun.
Cons: No located record means no exception can be documented: the Manchin test reads service and breaks, and her file offers neither to read.
The flaw, plainly: Lehmacher's flaw is the thin file against a thick margin: an uninspectable candidacy asking an R+43 district to change its mind.
Corriea (L) did not respond to the Greenville News' candidate questionnaire; his information comes from campaign materials only.
