“I believe that every child in South Carolina deserves a world-class education, and every teacher deserves the resources and respect necessary to provide it. I am running for the House because I am tired of seeing our public schools and educators sidelined; it’s time for a representative who treats our children’s future—from those first preschool milestones to high school graduation—as their top priority.”
(Ballotpedia 2026 Candidate Connection Survey) “Spartanburg County is no longer the best-kept secret in the South—we are growing at a rapid pace, and while that brings incredible opportunity, it also brings a significant strain on our daily lives. As I talk to neighbors across the district, the message is clear: our infrastructure is struggling to keep up.”
(Ballotpedia 2026 Candidate Connection Survey) “We cannot continue to add new homes and businesses without a serious, long-term plan for our roads and schools. I am committed to advocating for smart, sustainable growth that ensures our community remains livable and safe. This means fighting for our fair share of state funding to help maintain our infrastructure as we grow.”
