Get StartedWe need to raise teacher pay, and bring more transparency to what is being taught to reinstate parents' confidence in what their children are learning. Children need to learn the basics of reading, writing, and STEM to incorporate not only science and math but also technology including coding. And we need to greatly promote technical schools so that those children who want to learn a much-needed trade such as electrician, plumber, welder, and many others can do so proudly. This could help slow the outrageous inflation of college costs. Learn more
I oppose offshore drilling off the South Carolina coast entirely and without qualification. Learn more
We need to work hard to encourage innovative private sector solutions to carbon reduction like increasing energy production from natural gas, solar, and other sustainable sources. In the public sector, common sense solutions such as gravity-based drainage for flood-prone areas, encouraging planting more vegetation especially trees, and other initiatives add up to a much safer, cleaner environment over time.

As a strong voice for conservation, I will continue to stand against the road intrusion and destruction of any part of Laurel Hill Park. This wonderful passive park does not need a highway cutting through it. There are other solutions to our traffic challenges. Learn more
I will always protect the rights of our citizens, never forgetting that I am serving the public, not seeking to rule the public. I believe in the innate commonsense and goodness of the citizens of Mount Pleasant. I reject the paternalistic, top-down, “we know what’s best for you” attitude of our current leadership. Learn more
The United States needs a 21st century, free market healthcare system which protects access to coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. Learn more
We need to allow Americans to purchase insurance across state lines. We need to look at actual costs for services rendered rather than the inflated numbers that most providers use which are automatically adjusted down by insurance claim reviewers. And we need to address Medicare and Medicaid in a different manner than simply moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic when it comes to providing coverage to more people. Learn more
Infrastructure improvements including new roads, widening and better intersections are a major part of keeping traffic flowing throughout Mount Pleasant. Voting to support important projects such as the final leg of Billy Swails Boulevard which will create a third major artery north and south for commuters, widening Park West Boulevard, and major improvements to the intersection at Coleman and Patriots Point Boulevards are part of what we have already accomplished or coming very soon.

I believe in limited government, strict financial accountability and a conservative budget for our state. As your State House Representative, I will work tirelessly to improve our budget and plan for unforeseen events in the future. I have signed a no tax increase pledge and will not raise taxes on our citizens. There will always be challenges that will require creativity, collaboration and “outside the box” thinking. Learn more
