The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I consider myself fiscally responsible and socially liberal. It is import to keep out budget balanced, but at the same time making sure we have proper funding for vital institutions such as education and healthcare. As a social liberal, I would like to reform damaging and archaic policies for areas such as criminal justice and marijuana. Is there anything you would like to add? I am excited to get started in leading South Carolina through a social progress while also bringing in businesses and properly funding our education system.[2] |
