Key Issues

Secure Our Border

- The safety of our families and businesses comes first. We must empower our law enforcement to stop dangerous illegal immigrants and prevent deadly drugs from plaguing our communities.
- In the State House, I’ve supported legislation to increase law enforcement funding, establish SLED’s Illegal Immigration Task Force, and strengthen penalties for fentanyl traffickers and repeat offenders.

Energy Independence and Grid Reliability

- I stand with President Trump in his efforts to achieve American energy independence.
- We must expand domestic production with an “all-of-the-above" energy approach, including nuclear, natural gas, hydrogen, and renewables.
- With South Carolina’s rapid growth and booming economy, our energy grid is under strain. We must take action to prevent future energy shortages.

A Leaner, More Efficient Government

- I support a leaner, efficient government – one that respects South Carolina taxpayers.
- Our state needs a watchdog to eliminate unnecessary spending, repeal burdensome regulations, and cut unnecessary programs, modeled after the Trump Administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

Fight for Taxpayers

- During my time in the State House, we’ve passed historic tax cuts — but I won’t stop fighting for more. Families and small businesses deserve to keep more of their hard - earned money.
- As a small business owner, I know firsthand how excessive regulations and red tape hurt businesses. I will always work to cut unnecessary bureaucracy and support small businesses.

Safe Schools, Free from Political Agendas

- Schools should focus on education — not political agendas.
- I’ve always fought to keep politics out of the classroom, stand for parental rights, and support school choice initiatives that prepare students for college, careers, or military service.
- Every student, teacher, and staff member deserves a safe learning environment. We must prioritize funding for stronger school safety measures.

Preserve Conservative Family Values

- Life is precious. I will never stop fighting to protect the most vulnerable, like the unborn and seniors.
- I firmly believe in our Constitution. We are all entitled to life and the right to protect ourselves and our families.

Protect American Farmland

- Foreign adversaries like China should not own South Carolina farmland — it’s a matter of national security. I support legislative action to prevent these purchases.
- Now more than ever, we must strengthen domestic food production and support our farmers instead of relying on imports.
