If elected to the State House, I pledge that I will support bipartisan efforts to do what's best for South Carolina. As our state continues to grow, we must invest in infrastructure to solve everyday problems like traffic congestion. We must support our K-12 public schools and make our colleges and universities more affordable. We must champion small businesses and the good-paying jobs they bring to our community as well as raise the minimum wage so that working families can afford to live in our community. We must conserve our natural environment and lead the transition to clean energy -- by rejecting any effort to bring offshore drilling to our coast.
No longer shall we be divided, but instead learn to work together, love thy neighbor, and build a better tomorrow for our children.- THE ENVIRONMENT-The beauty of South Carolina is what draws us to its coast, waterways, forest and mountains. South Carolinians love the great outdoors and we want the beauty of our state to be enjoyed for generations to come. That is why I will fight to keep our waters clean and free from off-shore drilling. I pledge to find solutions for greener energy production, stopping pollution from big industry, and prohibiting the overdevelopment of our beautiful waterways, islands and marshes.
- UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES- As your State Representative for district 112, I am committed to listening to the concerns of underrepresented communities and being an advocate for the issues that impact them the most. As your State Representative, I pledge to create new legislation that will support the needs and vision of a more inclusive and equitable future here in South Carolina.
- VETERANS- My father was a Vietnam Veteran. He passed away from service related ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) just over eight years ago. Since then, I have advocated for new legislation that protects and supports our veterans while overseas and once they've returned home. Our veterans deserve to have a voice in Columbia. They deserve better healthcare, comprehensive mental health support, career transition support and a local leader that will honor and respect the sacrifice they have made for our country.
