| Collapse all
I'm Dan Nickles, I have been endorsed by Senator Josh Kimbrell, District 11 and retiring Senator Dwight Loftis. I am a small business owner, I have been practicing dentistry for the last 33 years in Greenville. I take care of about 100 patients a week and I hear their concerns about our community and how we need good honest men in the Legislature to save our country during this pivotal time. I have a unique perspective, something that rarely happens in Columbia .
I am a concerned citizen just like you, I am a business man and not a career politician. I am a father that wants a better future for my children.
I am for the people. Vote Nickles for change, Nickles for you!- I am for Transparency in Government. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
- I am for Protecting The Unborn
I am for the Heartbeat Bill, which prohibits abortion after a baby’s heartbeat is detected.
- I am for lowering taxes, I am against increasing taxes and for cutting the state’s income tax and other taxes, returning over $2 billion to taxpayers.
Holding public office should not be about gaining power, notoriety, selfish interest, and personal wealth. These are not qualifications elected officials should have.
