DescriptionSouth Carolina congressional candidate Joe Cunningham refers to himself as an “ocean engineer” in one of his television ads. The only problem? He isn’t.

A complaint filed against the Democratic nominee for the Palmetto State’s first congressional district (map) claims he is lying about his title – which would be illegal. The complaint – submitted by a Lowcountry engineer to the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (SCLLR) – was first reported last week by The (Charleston, S.C.) Post and Courier.

“I’m proud to have a degree in ocean engineering and even more proud of the work I did as an ocean engineer for several years,” Cunningham told the paper by way of response.

However, reporter Caitlin Byrd noted in her coverage that “Cunningham does not have an engineering license in South Carolina.” He was previously licensed as an engineering intern in Florida, but “never obtained his professional engineer license” in the Sunshine State, either.
