(Campaign Website) “I grew up in the Lowcountry. I know what it means to watch a rural hospital close its doors. To watch your family’s land get tangled up in Heirs’ Property courts. To watch your kids come home with a diploma and leave town, or even the state, because there’s nowhere to work. That’s not a Lowcountry problem. That’s a leadership problem.”
(Campaign Website) “I’m not running because I have all the answers. I’m running because the people of District 122 are the answer — and nobody in Columbia has been listening. I will fight for affordable housing that doesn’t require a second job just to afford the first one. I will fight for broadband that actually reaches the end of the road.”
