After graduating from the College of Charleston in 2001, Ellis worked in the United States Senate in Washington. He has spent most of his career in Charleston and serves as the founding author of three academic scholarships and sits on the board of an educational nonprofit aimed at providing students with the tutoring and equipment they otherwise could not afford.
Ellis is a fighter and has built a law practice representing people who have needed a voice. He is invested in the community in which he lives and works and is raising a family. He wants to see our area represented well at the State House and believes we reach our fullest potential when political gameship gives way to reaching across the aisle and building together for the greater good.
Ellis is running as a Democrat for House District 110 to ensure the voices of the people in Charleston, Mount Pleasant and James Island are represented and heard in Columbia.- IMPROVING LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE We continue to send our tax dollars to Columbia, yet our roads and bridges remain congested and in dire need of repair. Given the amount of tax dollars and commerce our area produces annually, it is time for us to start seeing our dollars at work.
- PRESERVING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES There are many reasons we love the Lowcountry and our beautiful natural resources. I will fight to protect these qualities that make our area so unique and special. There is no compromise: offshore drilling must be banned and stay banned. We must combat flooding and other long-term effects of climate change. This should be an intergenerational fight and I will work every day to protect the Lowcountry.
- FIGHTING FOR THE FUTURE There is an old saying heard around coastal towns: “A rising tide lifts all boats.” This can be applied to many different areas of life and community. In South Carolina, we need to reform our education system and leave the low national rankings once and for all. Teachers deserve to be paid; students deserve to have access to the proper educational tools they need to excel; and parents deserve to have their voices heard. Our children depend on it and our future is beholden to it.
