Beaufort County Council is an elected body responsible for passing ordinances, setting county policies and developing an annual budget for the administration of public services to citizens. Council members serve 4-year staggered terms and each council member sits on at least one - usually a few - of five committees that focus on specific areas of concern. Committees include Community Services, Finance, Executive, Natural Resources and Public Facilities. Committee members must also participate on sub-committees and specific task forces as needs arise. Each Council member represents one of eleven districts within the County.NOTE: If a candidate's answers are not visible, the candidate may not have completed the survey prior to our publication date.

I will strengthen transparency by ensuring all major proposals come to Council only after complete studies, clear documentation, and full public review. I support predictable processes, accessible information, and early communication so residents understand how decisions are made and how they can participate. I will work to expand public engagement, improve coordination with municipalities, and provide clear explanations of votes and policy impacts. My goal is a Council that listens, communicates openly, and makes decisions based on long‑term community needs.
Balancing business growth, housing development, and quality of life starts with making sure growth aligns with infrastructure and land conditions. I support a stricter, data‑driven review process so new projects move forward only when roads, drainage, emergency services, and environmental impacts are fully understood. Housing should be built in areas that can support it, and businesses thrive when planning is predictable and the Lowcountry’s natural character is protected. By coordinating closely with municipalities, enforcing development agreements, and prioritizing long‑term community needs over short‑term pressure, we can support economic opportunity while preserving the quality of life that makes Beaufort County special.
I will advocate for infrastructure projects that focus on safety, congestion relief, and long‑term resilience rather than large, costly road‑widening efforts that offer diminishing returns. My priorities are targeted intersection improvements, modern drainage and stormwater systems, and stronger coordination with SCDOT so projects are planned proactively and executed efficiently.
Before considering new funding, I believe the County must use existing revenue more effectively, complete past commitments, and ensure growth contributes its fair share. For future projects, I support a mix of funding tools based on who benefits and who is most impacted. My goal is a transportation and infrastructure plan that is aligned with the needs of residents
Beaufort County’s growing population requires a long‑term, predictable approach to school funding and planning. I support stronger coordination between the County and the School Board to ensure new schools are located in areas that reduce congestion, improve access, and serve students efficiently. I also support competitive teacher pay, manageable class sizes, and ensuring schools have the resources they need to attract and retain talent.
Before considering new revenue, the County should use existing funds more efficiently and complete past commitments. My goal is a stable, responsible framework that supports students, teachers, and families without placing unnecessary burdens on taxpayers.
