SC State House of Representatives -- The legislative power of the State of South Carolina is vested in a general assembly comprised of two chambers - the senate and the house of representatives.

As part of the general assembly, the House of Representatives creates and amends laws that govern our state and must create and pass the state budget annually. The general assembly draws district lines for the SC House, SC Senate and US House every 10 years after each census.

To what extent should the state regulate the standards for the use of water and electricity and extent of environmental impact by data centers?
The state should regulate the use of electricity and water to the extent that it does not increase costs to the constituents. Data centers should not be getting reduced electric and water rates. I would also be in favor of them generating their own electricity and selling extra back to the municipalities.
What strategies would you support for developing affordable/workforce housing?
I would support low interest loans to those who are working and have a need for support.
What, if anything, should the state legislature do to ensure access to quality healthcare in SC at an affordable cost for all?
The cost of healthcare has increased way too much over the years. I am in favor of more open competition for healthcare providers and insurance companies. True competition always brings down costs and lowers prices.
What is your position on the use of tax revenue to fund public versus private education?
I am in favor of a voucher system. All parents should be able to use their voucher for the school of their choice to send their children to. This would create competition and thus improve the educational system for all.
