I hear first-hand the struggles of my patients and their families. I know access to healthcare, the quality of education, economic opportunity, and safety affect the health of a family and community far more than anything I can do at the hospital or around my kitchen table. Decisions about these fundamental needs are made at the statehouse, and impact each of our lives every single day.
We need a leader in Columbia who will stand up for the citizens of our district and remember the faces of our families when determining which laws to create, support, and enact. My dedication as a community and church leader, my work teaching future doctors and advocating for my patients, my public health advocacy, life as a working parent of four kids, and spouse of a busy family practice physician have made me ready to lead South Carolina towards a healthier and more secure future. I am determined to improve the health and prosperity of South Carolina.- Healthcare
