You decide
Chime in. Tell Mark what is on your mind, and what you want your county government to get right. Residents of District 2 will help shape these priorities and the order they come in. Tell Mark what matters.
Platform
Where Mark stands.
Six years in the State House and a year of listening across the Lowcountry have made the priorities clear. Here is where Mark starts.
Affordability
Property taxes and sales taxes hit your household every day. Mark will put lowering both on the table and commit to having that conversation in public, with the numbers in front of everyone. No promises he cannot keep, but a real look at what Berkeley County residents pay and why.
Traffic and growth
Berkeley County is growing fast, and our infrastructure has to keep up. Growth should pay for growth. Mark will push to address our roads and infrastructure needs in a smart and respectful way: planning ahead of development, respecting the neighborhoods already here, and using his relationships in Columbia to bring Berkeley County its share.
Public safety
A growing county needs a Sheriff’s Office, fire service, and EMS that grow with it. Named Legislator of the Year by both the S.C. Fraternal Order of Police and the S.C. Professional Firefighters Association, Mark will make sure first responders have the staffing, pay, and equipment to keep response times short and neighborhoods safe.
Flooding and resiliency
Drainage and stormwater investment must keep pace with development, and the green spaces that absorb water and define the Lowcountry must be preserved and expanded. Mark will say no to unsustainable data centers that strain our water, power, and land, and yes to growth the county can sustain.
