Background
Brian Corriea is the Libertarian Party candidate for U.S. House in South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District in the November 2026 general election. 15
Corriea served nine years in the U.S. Navy before transitioning to private-sector work as a claims adjuster. His campaign biography describes him as a political commentator and activist, though the sources available do not clarify whether claims adjusting remains his current paid occupation. 14
He previously ran as a Libertarian candidate in Wisconsin, seeking a seat in the Wisconsin State Assembly District 29 in 2018 and running in a 2018 Wisconsin Senate District 10 special election; both were unsuccessful bids and the sources reviewed do not indicate he has held elected office. 27
The incumbent in SC-3 is Republican Rep. Sheri Biggs, elected in 2024. Corriea's campaign website is brianforliberty.com, and a secondary source identifies Williamston, South Carolina as his hometown, though that was not confirmed by his campaign materials. 43
