| Collapse all
Eve believes in the value of education having attended public schools before obtaining her college degree, masters degree, and law degree. She studied at Oxford, England. Eve would go onto become a business law professor. She teaches at a University and has taught paralegal courses at Central Carolina Technical College, and tutored cadets at the Camden Military Academy.
Eve is no stranger to public service and working in government. Eve worked on the campaign of former United States Congressman Thomas J. Downey, her first cousin. She worked for former Governor Mario Cuomo of New York in her early days. And has been engaged in political conversations around the table with an eye to becoming a public servant.
- Economic Opportunity and Justice. Eve believes in jobs and fair wages. She advocates for South Carolina to adopt a state minimum wage law that can raise employee hourly rates in the state. This will help to uplift citizens economic footing in South Carolina. South Carolina is one of only a few states that does not have a state minimum wage law on the books. This needs to change.
- Electing Women to the State House. Right now Women are less than 15 percent of elected legislators in South Carolina's State House. This is one of the worst records in the country. Eve believes it is a high priority to change.this. Electing more Women to the State House is increasing democracy in our state. This needs to be done.
- Education Eve believes the state needs to move from having an interest in public education to having a commitment to public education. This involves more teacher respect, better salaries, smaller class sizes, and less state testing. Let teachers teach.
1. View yourself as a public servant for the people in your district's communities.
2. To fight to the best of your abilities for your district's communities' needs. These would include resources for the communities, employment opportunities, and working with law enforcement to keep communities safe.
