Bio

‍

Tyler Dykes is a Marine Corps veteran and political activist running for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District. Politically active since age 17, Dykes describes himself as a fighter for the common man and woman who believes drastic change is needed in Washington. He lost his business and employment as a result of his political activism — a sacrifice he wears as a badge of commitment to his cause. His campaign is headquartered in Bluffton, South Carolina.

Platform

Economy: Bring manufacturing back to America, reduce taxes on working families, end work visa programs that displace American workers, and strictly enforce immigration laws. Restoration: Ban DEI and Critical Race Theory from public institutions, restore constitutional government, and remove foreign ideological influence from public spaces. Foreign Policy: Oppose AIPAC and all foreign lobbying influence in Congress, end foreign aid that drains American taxpayers, and require natural-born citizenship for all elected officeholders. Anti-Corruption: Expose and hold accountable the Epstein Class of political elites, enact congressional term limits, ban members of Congress from trading stocks, and reform elections to ensure integrity.

Tyler Dykes is one of the boldest voices in the America First movement — a Marine veteran willing to sacrifice his livelihood to fight for real change. He opposes AIPAC's stranglehold on Congress, demands Epstein accountability, and refuses to bow to the establishment of either party. His candidacy is exactly the kind of cross-partisan anti-corruption fight that America First United stands for.
