| Collapse all
1.) Husband & Lifelong Charleston Area Resident. 2.) Blue Collar Employee, Warehouse Manager. 3.) Participated In Leadership And Cultural Enrichment Programs, Recognized For Academic Achievement By Obama. 4.) Very Active In Monitoring & Learning About Domestic & International Affairs, Ranging From Civil Rights To Socio-Economic Conditions.
5.) Very Focused On Community Empowerment, Advocating For Causes That Put PEOPLE Before Government.- Government should be as Transparent as possible! I STRONGLY support Legislation that seeks to achieve this, such as SC Bills H. 3932 & S. 134 .
- Government should be SOLELY Accountable to "We, The People"! I STRONGLY support Legislation that seeks to achieve this, like SC Bill H. 5219 that would require Live-Streaming of all SC House Committee/Sub-Committee Meetings. I also support introducing Legislation that BANS Individual Stock Trading for members of the SC Legislature & introduces Term Limits for them as well.
- Government should be COMPASSIONATE. The role of government is to safeguard Rights, NOT attempt to play God! The LEAST Compassionate thing a Legislator can do, is claim to know the best way(s) to arrange the circumstances of your lives. When Democrats & Republicans alike participate in this, it is effectively trauma-bonding, as reality ALWAYS falls short of the outcomes they claimed would be produced! I will be the MOST Compassionate Legislator by always remembering & abiding by this eternal, inescapable truth: the Authority to arrange/run your lives is best-allocated to YOU, NOT the government!
