Tyler Gregg was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 75 of the South Carolina House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Gregg's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Education

  • I believe we should raise teacher salaries to the national average.
  • I support significantly decreasing the amount of standardized testing in schools.
  • I will not support sending money from our public schools to private academies.

Roads

  • South Carolina road repairs are massively underfunded. In order to truly fix our State’s infrastructure, we have to pay for it. That’s why I favor a small increase in the gas tax to tackle the massive price tag that comes with fixing our dilapidated roads and bridges.

Term Limits

  • I am a strong supporter of term limits for the entire General Assembly. If elected, I will call on my colleagues to pass comprehensive legislation to limit the proliferation of the career politician.

Equal Pay

  • South Carolina is one of four states that does not have an equal pay law. This statistic is particularly confounding given that women make up more than half of our labor force. Discrimination of any kind is unconstitutional and morally abhorrent. If elected I will work every day to stop this practice and promulgate common sense legislation to promote equal pay.

Paid Family Leave

  • If elected, I will work tirelessly to expand workers’ abilities to take paid family leave to care for a newborn or adopted child. I will also focus on passing common sense legislation guaranteeing women with pregnancy-related physical limitations the right to reasonable workplace accommodations that make it feasible for them to stay on the job.[1]
