I am not a politician. I am a representative for my community and fight to keep the state government focused on issues in our community.
  • The people have a voice and decide what the laws should be, not the government.
  • We tell the government what we want and our representatives should execute that. Not the other way around.
  • Taking away rights and freedoms is not liberty. It’s subjugation
Voter laws, school funding and curriculum, truth from rhetoric, and not being told that others moral or religious views are laws we all have to live by.
To only represent their community and be frequently communicating with them to make sure their voice is still being represented.
I always do what needs to be done. I don’t wait or put necessary actions aside. I understand that being in total agreement with a political party or political body in-spite of my community is wrong. I do not back down from anyone that wants to marginalize my community or anyone in it.
To put their own morals, thoughts, and opinions aside to push for the will of the community.
Only that we all have the right to represent our community and should be encouraged to. The age of politicians wanting to be in charge of anything is over.
The first major historical event I remember was 9/11. I had just turned 19 years old and was in my second year in the Army. I saw it in a TV while packing for deployment. It was surreal watching a terrorist event unfold in New York. Through my entire military career only January 6th, 2021, watching another terrorist attack unfold on our capital, matched that feeling.
The Martian. It illustrates how lost and doomed we all feel. It also illustrates how with a little will and a little faith we can overcome anything.
Easy, Batman. People don’t know who he is, but they know he fights for good and is always doing what is necessary to save his community. Who does the hard work isn’t important. Getting it done is and we are all capable of it. He also doesn’t take no for an answer.
You don’t own me by Leslie Gore
Helping people understand facts from opinions. Many people just hear someone speak and take that as truth. If we do a little research and look at the unbiased facts than we can get to the truth.
The governor is an administrator not a dictator. He should be working with the legislature to make sure the will of the people is enacted. Not their own will or the will of a political party.
Getting voters to the polls and increasing the quality of education are the biggest challenges for South Carolina’s future. We know that our elections are secure, but our citizens are being told false rhetoric that they are not. Our schools are severely underfunded and we are giving millions to private schools that most kids don’t have access to. We have a sever teacher shortage right now.
I believe having one chamber would give people more opportunity to get their will realized. In our legislature we have many many politicians trying to push their will in the people. That is not the it’s set up. Having one chamber would help eliminate the number of politicians to object. Unfortunately having only one chamber would make less people involved making it easier for a corrupt body to control laws.
I believe it’s a hindrance for politicians to have experience. It’s been show over and over again in my district and most others that the longer a politician is in office, the less they represent their district.
Yes! I believe legislators should build strong relationships because we have have similar issues in our districts. Our districts and help each other by passing bills that are mutually beneficial.
I don’t think we should be able to redistrict. Every process is leveraged to make areas for political parties bigger. We need to not have a process and let people speak for themselves.
I think ethics, finance, and education.
I am so frustrated with politicians that I just want to be a representative for my district and not try to rule it. I haven’t seen many politicians like that.
No. I don’t want to be a politician. I want to make sure my community gets is in control of their government, not the other way around.
Of course. Compromise is the only way we can govern in a democracy with millions of people. There is no one right political philosophy and giving the citizens their voice is the only way ensure our government is obeying them. Compromise is how that voice is solidified for all citizens.
