1. What measures do you support to ensure secure, accessible voting in South Carolina?

We already have voter ID, two weeks of early voting, and curbside voting to make it easier and secure for voters to cast their ballot.

2. What measures do you support to improve access to health care for low-income South Carolinians?

I support funding Medicaid for those who need help while also encouraging all people who are able to work toward self sufficiency.

3. What measures do you support for regulating data centers in South Carolina?

Data centers should pay for their own infrastructure and not strain any utilities for residents. Data centers may be best on property that is not even suitable for farming. The state should ensure power, water, and other resources are properly regulated. Counties and municipalities should have the ability to zone and regulate data centers if they want them or not, and consideration should be given for potential health impacts for communities.
