It's absolutely needed for the low-income people in South Carolina, as we live in one of the poorest states in the country. Women use healthcare providers more than men, so mostly lower -income women and child will be using these services. We should do more to support the citizens in our state, to lift them up economically, and to provide healthcare so that people can become healthier. Expanding Medicaid will provide healthcare access and help reach these goals. And by not accepting the Medicaid Expansion we are continuing the message of not caring enough and neglecting the people in most need in our state. I do care, and as the next state representative I will support all facets of programs that contribute to lifting up our people.
There are 3 levels of business that we need to address Big, Small, and Start-up.
For Big Business I will work with the regional legislatures and the other departments to create package deals that can bring jobs to the area, with some type of incentives that are reasonable
For Small, we want to help those in existence be sustainable
For Start- ups, legislatures can create incubator spaces at colleges that helps young entrepreneurs to get started, and navigate them to resources for getting jobs or creating job opportunities. We can creates days to highlight the start-ups and have entrepreneurial days.
Significant investments in the communications about all of the job opportunities will also be needed.
We should work with the representatives from and members of the communities from the areas that will be most effected to determine ways to fight the rising sea levels. Enacting policies that slow or combat climate change will also help. The rising sea levels could affect places like Charleston in as little as 25 years drastically changing our economy in the state.
The local school boards and school districts should determine what books are available in school libraries. We currently have a process where members of the communities can work with their local school boards and districts to give recommendations on which books should be in the libraries.

We currently have 76,000 South Carolinians in the coverage gap because our state leaders refuse to expand Medicaid. I believe that when our government allow industry to poison our air, water, soil, and food for profit, medical access beyond an emergency room should be guaranteed. We must expand medicaid now!
In order to attract more well-paying jobs to our area, we need to improve our community's quality of place, strengthen our partnerships with small business, and empower our community to have a seat at the table when businesses come to town. This means investing in our infrastructure to include broadband, as well as bolstering a dynamic school to work pipeline. Westinghouse Electric Company is located in the heart of District 70, but only hire 4% of its workforce from our community. That's counterproductive when they receive big tax rebates and and allowed to pay fees in lieu of taxes, to be here.
We need to acknowledge that climate change is a real crisis that is happening right now. To address this crisis, we must take action by implementing sensible greenhouse gas regulations and complying with the Biden regulations to reduce our contributions to climate change. Additionally, I would support my colleagues in the Low Country coastline and the Office of Resilience in their efforts to secure funding to strengthen their infrastructure to cope with rising tides and stronger storms.
School library professionals are specially trained to curate a diverse literary collection based on student, teacher, and administrator feedback. However, once the books are selected, the local school board has some control over which books are removed. Unfortunately, book bans have become politicized, and extremist groups like Moms for Liberty are using them as fear-based tools to mobilize voters. It is crucial to note that school library professionals should continue to have the autonomy to select which books are placed in their libraries. Books should be an avenue for students to explore infinite worlds and endless possibilities.
