| Collapse all
- I'm a common sense Conservative that supports the Trump Administration's policies. And most importantly, flip a seat in Congress from Blue to Red which will make it harder for the Democrats to impeach President Trump again. I worked for President Trump's campaign as a canvasser in 2020 in North Carolina. I also worked for Trump's 2024 campaigns in both the South Carolina Primary as a volunteer phone caller and the general election as a canvasser and phone caller. I specialize in customer service as a Banquet Supervisor for Embassy Suites at the hotel and Convention Center in North Charleston, SC. I am passionate about listening to and helping solve the problems of our constituents in South Carolinas' District 6
- I'm a fiscal conservative that will vote for bills in Congress that are fiscally conservative and practical that cut spending, bring down inflation, and reduce the national debt. I also want to champion bills in Congress that put the American people first and reduce the amount of tax payer dollars that go to foreign lands. I will also support The One Subject at a Time Act that requires each bill to have a single topic when voted on and eliminate the large omnibus bills.
- I believe in deregulation and making government smaller. I want American businesses to thrive by supporting legislation that remove unnecessary restrictions and regulations that inhibit small businesses from prospering. I also support DOGE cuts that remove needless bureaucratic jobs and programs that are a waste of taxpayer money.
