Education and Experience
I’m a citizen candidate and forward-thinking business executive with nearly four decades of private sector experience. I’ve held leadership roles at Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurial ventures, and nonprofit organizations. Most rewardingly, I served as founding president and CEO of the International African American Museum in Charleston. After graduating from Syracuse University, I earned an MBA from Duke University and received an honorary Doctorate in Public History from Dickinson College.
My top priority is safeguarding women’s reproductive freedom. I believe a woman’s health care decisions belong between her and her doctor. I’ll fight to defend women’s rights and protect IVF access.
Next, I want to foster an economy that works for working families. I believe in economic policy that respects labor rights, invests in local businesses, and holds big corporations accountable. That’s why multiple labor groups have endorsed our campaign.
Finally, I want to invest in our children’s education. I believe we must strengthen learning outcomes across this district. We must attract committed teachers with competitive salaries. And we must ensure that every child gets a high-quality education, no matter their zip code.
I believe that quality, affordable health care in America is a right, not a privilege. Far too often, working families across the Lowcountry are burdened by extraordinary out-of-pocket costs, copays, and health insurance premiums.
It shouldn’t be so expensive to care for yourself or your loved ones when you need help most. I support strengthening the Affordable Care Act, expanding Medicaid across our state, taking on Big Pharma, and lowering prescription drug costs.
I believe in the Second Amendment and support folks’ constitutional right to bear arms. But I also believe in commonsense gun safety measures — supported by a large majority of Americans — that will better protect our Lowcountry communities.
In Congress, I’ll champion policies like universal background checks and red flag laws to safeguard our children, neighbors, and working families here in SC-01. I’m committed to ending our country’s epidemic of senseless gun violence. That’s why Moms Demand Action awarded me its 2024 Gun Sense Candidate distinction.
I come from a family of public servants, and I believe strongly in law and order. We must secure our southern border and take real action to create a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system.
Earlier this year, U.S. senators from both parties came together and crafted a comprehensive, bipartisan bill to do just that. But Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers, led by extreme politicians like Nancy Mace, chose to tank that measure at the last minute — all because they thought it would hurt Trump’s chances of winning back the White House.
That’s the very definition of putting partisan politics over the needs of the people. I’m actually serious about solving the problem at our southern border, and I’m ready to get to work in Congress.
