“Quote: “It took me 20 years to become a Christian because I felt like everyone was either a hypocrite or perfect and I couldn’t be either. It wasn’t until I learned that we are all striving to be better people tomorrow than we are today that I was able to put my faith out there.”” (Ballotpedia 2022 Candidate Connection Survey)
“Judicial reform. I believe the state of South Carolina must stay above reproach when it comes to our appointment of judges. The way SC currently appoints antiquated. We are one of two states(Virginia) that the legislature controls both the nominating and appointment process of state judges.” (Ballotpedia 2022 Candidate Connection Survey)
“We are one of two states (Tennessee) with a judicial nominating committee appointed solely by the legislature. When you have members of the legislature that appear before these judges as defense attorneys, that is an ethical violation in my opinion.” (Ballotpedia 2022 Candidate Connection Survey)
