1. What are the two most important issues facing Horry County and how will you address them?
2. How would you balance the need for adequate infrastructure with the need to protect South Carolina's people and our natural environment?

Unmanaged growth and housing affordability. Horry County is approving development faster than roads, drainage, and schools can handle it. Residents pay for it through taxes and flooded yards. I will push for infrastructure-first standards: roads and drainage funded before permits are issued. On affordability, I will push to modernize our zoning code and require honest fiscal analysis before large projects are approved. Growth should pay for itself.
They aren't opposites. Our wetlands and floodplains are infrastructure. They absorb stormwater and protect neighborhoods. When we fill them to build subdivisions that then flood, we've traded natural capacity for an expensive problem. I'll push for drainage built to realistic projections, enforce existing stormwater standards, and require honest accounting of long-term costs before approvals.
