1. Affordability & Economic Stability
2. Education & Workforce Investment
3. Accountability, Infrastructure & Responsible Growth
1. School Choice — Yes, but with accountability and fairness
I support responsible school choice that expands opportunity without harming public schools.
2. Charter Schools—Support with strong oversight
I support high-quality charter schools that truly serve students and communities.
3. Voucher Programs — Opposed in their current form
I do not support voucher programs that divert public funds to private schools without accountability.
Independent environmental impact reviews
Before approval, South Carolina should require studies on water supply, wetlands, stormwater runoff, noise, land use, and grid strain.
Public reporting of water and energy use
Every large data center should disclose how much water and electricity it uses so the public can see the impact before expansion continues.
No cost-shifting to ratepayers
If a data center needs new power lines, substations, water infrastructure, or wastewater upgrades, the company—not local families—should pay for it.
Here’s how I would handle that kind of pressure:
1. Stay grounded in the needs of the district
Before making any decision, I will listen—through community meetings, conversations, and direct feedback. If an issue clearly impacts the families, workers, and communities of Beaufort and Colleton Counties, that will guide my vote—not party expectations.
2. Communicate openly and respectfully
I won’t ignore party leadership—I’ll engage them. I’ll explain why a position doesn’t align with what my district needs and advocate for solutions that work for our people. Leadership should be about dialogue, not blind obedience.
3. Be willing to stand alone when necessary
