He previously served as an aide to Congressman L. Mendel Rivers. In 2010, he surprisingly became the Democratic nominee for South Carolina's 1st congressional district. Frasier's frequent candidacies have drawn criticism for potentially impacting other contenders and for allegations of not campaigning seriously.
