Sellers (born September 18, 1984) is an American attorney, political commentator, and former politician. He represented South Carolina's 90th district in the lower house of the state legislature from 2006 to 2014, becoming the youngest African American politician in the country at age 22. He vacated his seat in the South Carolina House of Representatives to run for Lieutenant Governor that year, but lost to Henry McMaster.[1] He was succeeded in the House by Justin T. Bamberg. Sellers is also the first vice chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party. Early life and educationSellers was born on September 18, 1984 and is the son of Gwendolyn Sellers and civil rights activist and professor Cleveland Sellers.[2] He grew up in Bamberg County, South Carolina,[3] and was educated at Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School, a public high school in Orangeburg, South Carolina.[4] In 2005, Sellers earned a bachelor's degree in African-American Studies from Morehouse College, a private all-male and historically black, liberal arts college, in Atlanta, Georgia.[5] In 2008, he earned a juris doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law.[3] Sellers has worked for Congressman James Clyburn and former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin.[5] CareerLegal careerSellers has been an attorney with the Strom Law Firm, L.L.C. in Columbia, South Carolina since 2007,[6][7][8] and he is an analyst on CNN.[8][9][10][11] He is also currently on the board of directors of Level Brands (a brand management firm)[12] and Let America Vote (a voting rights organization founded by former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander).[13] Zionist advocacySellers first attended the annual AIPAC conference while serving as student body president at Morehouse College.[14] He has since become a prominent African-American Zionist. In 2016, he authored a letter signed by 60 fellow African-American politicians urging the Democratic Platform Committee to keep the same language, refusing to include the statement that Israel is engaging in an "occupation" of Palestine that appeared in previous Democratic platforms. Sellers received criticism from pro-Palestinian activists, and groups such as Black Lives Matter, for his opposition to including the word "occupation".[15][16] Honors and awardsIn 2010, Time magazine featured Sellers on its 40 Under 40 list.[17][18] In 2012, Politico named Sellers on its "50 politicos to watch" list.[19][20][21] Sellers was named HBCU Top 30 Under 30 in July 2014.[22] ControversyIn early 2019, Sellers fantasized publicly about committing violence against an underaged teen. Sellers called a group of Covington Catholic School students "deplorable" and wrote, “Some ppl can also be punched in the face.” Sellers was criticized as one of several pundits suggesting or advocating violence against young teens." [23][24][25] On March 13, Sellers' actions were specifically cited in a defamation lawsuit against his employer at the time, CNN. [26] Personal lifeIn the summer of 2015, he married Ellen Rucker Carter, chiropractor and co-owner of Rucker Roots haircare products.[27] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Davis|first1=Kimberlei N.|title=Ex-Rep.
