- YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES - Creating productive after school programs and vocational programming within the schools for youth to keep them actively and creatively engaged in the community is a must. Most after school programs terminate services for youth at age 13. They are cut loose to wait it out until their parents get in from work. Sadly, most teens take to the streets and crime becomes their pastime instead of karate or coding. Teens are still impressionable and with the right after school offerings we can reclaim our children from aimless hanging out which then leads to a myriad of social ills such as vaping, smoking, vandalism and drug use which ultimately lead to criminal activity to support these addiction(s).
- CRIME IN !)( - The City of North Charleston has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities, (Neighborhood Scout - https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/sc/north-charleston/crime). We have to change this!! Our crime issue has a direct correlation to our lack of youth recreation for those beyond the age of 13 and hands-on vocational educational opportunities. This can change and should – it all goes back to what we do with our youth. We must invest in human infrastructure! Those without a vision will find mischief. This leads us back to citizens being harmed physically or financially.
- QUALITY JOBS - The issues in our community are cyclical - we have high crime because we lack enough opportunities within the community for our youth to be actively engaged in programming that gives them alternatives to crime and ignites their passions for learning. If we can break this cycle, our school dropout rates lower and our youth advance in higher education or other skill sets thereby becoming competitive for higher wage jobs right here in our community.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
