Experience
My professional background includes work as a newspaper reporter, technical writer and clerk to Dorchester County Council. Additionally, I managed my parents' care after both were diagnosed with dementia. I understand the difficult balancing act and choices families must make when simultaneously caring for parents and raising kid(s). I currently work as a substitute teacher in the Dorchester School District Two schools.

My first priority would be to legislation to refocus economic and industrial development in South Carolina to benefit the people living in this state as well as protecting our environment with sustainable development and city planning. Some examples of this would be creating a state minimum wage of $20/hour instead of relying on the insufficient federal minimum wage, strengthening our union protections as well as making it easier to form a union, creating a fuel subsidy similar to the state EBT program that would allow workers to afford to commute to work which would be made in tandem with a public transportation overhaul program that would increase alternatives to driving in order to help alleviate growing traffic as well as creating an alternative to driving which would save workers more money all while being more environmentally friendly than our car based highways and cities.
My preferred committee to serve on would be the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee. However I would also be excited to serve on the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee, the Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee, or the Education and Public Works Committee as well.
A progressive tax rate policy that puts a lower burden on the poor and working class and a higher tax burden on the wealthy and corporate owning class is the only solution that makes sense in order to help the people of South Carolina and create a more fair and equitable society for everyone.
I always operate under the view that the government does not have the right to restrict peoples personal freedoms whether that is how they choose to identify or what religion they choose to practice. America was founded on the principle of personal freedom and the government must protect that idea, America is for everyone.
Private school voucher programs should be abolished. I believe zero public funds should ever be used for private institutions. Not only does this drain our states funds and lowers overall academic performance in every state that tries it but by creating two education systems, which private education typically being used by the wealthy, it drives a wedge between the members of our community and creates antagonism between both sides as they fight for funding. This damages the relationships in our communities and it hurts our schools. There should be one school system that everyone pays into, that everyone uses and that every single person in this state is invested in the success of.
I support increased investment into green energy solutions in South Carolina such as solar, wind and hydro power. However I believe we will keep many of these costs down by opening fewer data centers and putting much harsher restrictions on the centers in this state. They are far more harmful to our state than beneficial from using up vast quantities of precious water to polluting our pristine environment and doing this all for a inefficient technological fad being used as an investment scheme for silicon valley tech oligarchs.
However the best solution for South Carolina's growing energy needs would be a state run expansion of nuclear power production. This would be a source of revenue for the state in the long run as well as offering competition to our energy producers in this state to ensure that the do not become complacent nor form monopolies. This new energy program would be built and run by the state itself, creating new high paying jobs and will not rely on private contractors.
