The Issues
Families
As a husband and father of two young boys, I understand the demands of being a parent and raising a family in these tough times. As a small business owner, I've worked hard for my success, but I couldn't have done it without the freedoms and opportunities that have been provided to me by this great country. I want those same opportunities for my family and ALL families in South Carolina. In Columbia, I will work hard for all families in the Palmetto State. I will work on both sides of the aisle, to help draft bipartisan legislation that will support families in South Carolina.
The Environment
The beauty of South Carolina is what draws us to its coast, waterways, forest and mountains. South Carolinians love the great outdoors and we want the beauty of our state to be enjoyed for generations to come. That is why I will fight to keep our waters clean and free from off-shore drilling. I pledge to find solutions for greener energy production, stopping pollution from big industry, and prohibiting the overdevelopment of our beautiful waterways, islands and marshes.
Underrepresented Communities
As your State Representative for district 112, I am committed to listening to the concerns of underrepresented communities and being an advocate for the issues that impact them the most. As your State Representative, I pledge to create new legislation that will support the needs and vision of a more inclusive and equitable future here in South Carolina.
Veterans
My father was a Vietnam Veteran. He passed away from service related ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) just over eight years ago. Since then, I have advocated for new legislation that protects and supports our veterans while overseas and once they've returned home. Our veterans deserve to have a voice in Columbia. They deserve better healthcare, comprehensive mental health support, career transition support and a local leader that will honor and respect the sacrifice they have made for our country.
Prescription Costs for Seniors, Affordable Housing for ALL
Young people are the future of South Carolina, and our seniors are the legacy of the Palmetto State. Whether you are a student just out of college, a young family or a retiree on a fixed income, all of us are greatly affected by the increasing cost of healthcare and housing in our state. As a state lawmaker, I pledge to advocate for new legislation that will lower prescription drug costs, and improve the housing crisis for both renters and homeowners in South Carolina.
