1. What are your top three priorities for legislative action?
Strengthening Education – Ensure every child has access to a high-quality education by supporting strong public schools, expanding career and technical training, increasing teacher support, and improving accountability so parents have confidence in their child’s school.
Lowering Costs for Families and Growing Jobs – Fight inflation at the state level by reducing unnecessary taxes and fees, supporting small businesses, improving workforce development, and attracting good-paying jobs to the Upstate.
Keeping Communities Safe and Strong – Support law enforcement, crack down on crime and drugs, improve mental health and addiction resources, and invest in roads and infrastructure so our communities remain safe and prepared for growth.
2. What steps would you take to protect the current voting rights of all South Carolinians?
I would protect the voting rights of all South Carolinians by supporting fair, secure, and transparent elections. Every eligible voter should have equal access to cast their ballot, with efficient polling locations, accurate voter rolls, and dependable absentee voting options where allowed by law. I support clear election rules and accountability so voters can have confidence that every legal vote is counted fairly.
3. How will you protect our state's water and power resources from the increasing demands of AI centers?
I support responsible growth that protects South Carolina families and businesses first. Any large data center or AI facility should be planned carefully with attention to water use, energy needs, and infrastructure capacity. We must ensure residents and existing businesses are not burdened with higher costs or strained resources while welcoming investment that creates jobs and strengthens our economy.
4. Do you support current legal protections for IVF procedures and the rights of people to access contraceptives?
Yes. I support protecting access to IVF and contraceptives so families have the opportunity to grow and make personal healthcare decisions. I believe these are private matters best handled by individuals, their families, and their doctors.
