Heather believes in the American dream because she is living it.
Heather Bauer has represented the people of House District 75 since 2022, when she defeated a long-time Republican incumbent by holding him accountable for voting to strip women of their right to choose an abortion. Heather was the only South Carolina Democrat to flip a seat red to blue that year.
During her first legislative session, Heather has proven to be one of the most consequential members of the state House—passing bi-partisan legislation and delivering results for Columbia.
Heather was named the 2024 Champion of Choice by Planned Parenthood, Legislator of the Year by the SC Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, a Rising Star by SC Women in Leadership, and the Joseph Neal Elected Official of the Year by the Young Democrats of South Carolina.
Heather is an insurance technology project manager and owner of Warrior Fitness and Martial Arts. She earned her master’s degree at the University of South Carolina in media arts. She serves on the board of the Nickelodeon Theatre.
In her spare time, she enjoys playing with her sweet puppy, Lilly!
