I’m a conservative who doesn’t like the way my opponent voted on serval crucial bills. Medical freedom is of utmost importance given the threat of government overreach in our health. A bill H4927 passed in the House where all democrats voted for it and so did several republicans. It is to have a single person unelected as a health czar in SC. This is what happened in California during Covid and they had the most aggressive vaccine mandates and masking regulations that were legal because of the orders of the health czar. It is incomprehensible to me how any conservative would vote for this? This along with several other bills that my opponent voted for prompted me to run for house representative for district 112. I am also concerned about our government’s lack of transparency and accountability. I believe we need to take steps to protect our freedom from government interference in our lives and our rights. I am a strong believer in the constitution of the United States. The past 7 years, I was board chair and founding board member of a public charte high school for students that were failing or dropped out of traditional schools. The success of our mission was to help students achieve their goals in graduation and to assist them in seeking meaningful careers and employment. We were very successful but not without much turmoil with the authorizing district. Oceanside is dealing with similar issues at the moment. I have a BA Economics, MBA and currently working on a PhD.

• Restricted government overreach- protect our rights and freedoms
• Parental rights and school choice
• Lower taxes and protections of our natural environment - development with infrastructure planning

Health freedom and safety, parental rights

Thomas Sowell - economist. The claim is often made that the only way to increase government revenue is to impose higher taxes on wealthy Americans. Sowell uses real-life data to demonstrate how lower taxes for people of all incomes leads to greater revenue for the government. This Trickle Down Theory should be understood by policymakers.

Integrity, honesty and grit. Being responsive to constituents concerns is the job of elected representatives. Ensuring that we fight for protections of privacy, personal freedom and stop any government overreach in our communities. Too often elected officials become complacent and fail to act on constituent matters and concerns. We live in times where we have to be careful and alert to bad bills being passed. It’s work to read lengthy bills and understand the consequences of those bills. Often times, they are not read properly or at all. I have a duty to do so if elected and vote wisely as a conservative a who will uphold the constitution.

First do no harm, then do everything to protect and improve the lives of our citizens. Prevent bad bills from passing and pass bills that will be aligned with the constitution and our freedoms. Lowering taxes is a priority. Eliminate frivolous taxes and spending. Bills to protect our waters, soil and ocean. Look at what other conservative states have passed as legislation. Prevent the little socialist bills from passing as that is how we end up with a socialist system over time. Socialist programs are bad bills.

Censorship! We can’t have the government or private sector be able to decide what the truth is. It is the precursor to communism. We currently have poor planning for the unrelenting growth we are seeing, especially in districts 112 & chs. . If we don’t link building projects and permits with infrastructure planning, we will look like Atlanta in 10 years.

No-strong ethics and integrity is more important. The determination and ability to learn quickly and care is key. Would rather have less spineless politicians with experience than a caring strong politician with integrity, honesty and strong reasoning abilities- who is also well versed in policy matters and is educated and willing to work hard.

No and yes… Yes -to a very limited extent. To the extent there’s disagreements between parties but they can be respectful to each other and not bully them into submission. It’s important to keep a distance. You can not be impartial and dedicated to your beliefs if you’re opposing your colleagues and friends’ beliefs and opinions on legislations. It’s why I don’t mix friendships and business or money in my personal life.

Rob Harris, Jonathan Hill,

The fear of losing Oceanside high school has made a lot of parents stressed for their children. I have a solution for that overreach by the district who voted to shut the school down. This is also a huge problem for the community. Another problem that has been completely ignored is the growing coyote population crisis. We can pass laws and follow Texas in the humane but highly effective actions they took. Crazy to keep repeating the same thing, trapping, when we know after a decade it’s done absolutely nothing and it’s never going to. No one cares enough to go to legislative body with a proposal/ bill to change the current law on coyote management. These are both the latest developments that need immediate action.

No - they essentially just did by voting for house bill H4927. Where only one unelected person can dictate everything regarding health- this was supposed to keep DHEC in check, but DHEC can’t force people to do anything. This ONE person can now because republicans like my opponent voted for it.

Dismantle H4927- the health czar bill. I would Sponsor bills to stop censorship of content, information, and news by government or social media- no exceptions. The hate bill my opponent voted for is also dangerous. A crime is a crime. Who’s going to define’hate’ and who’s in charge of changing its definition over the next decade? I’m in favor of bills that would ban chemical trails in SC. And remove illegal aliens with criminal records.

Both are absolutely crucial. How do we guarantee that we have transparency? By eliminating all conflicts of interest. Politicians can not profit from their position. Many legislators are attorneys. They get hired to represent a state agency against another agency- or a company against a state agency, in a court where either they or their peers have appointed that judge. However, they don’t recuse themselves. Unfortunately, they are not going to pass laws that restrict themselves. Other states have laws restricting this. This would be judicial reform.
Accountability: you can’t enforce accountability measures without having any oversight- a committee of people who are fully independent and competent to oversee each agency and prevent fraud and corruption. The inspector general is not enough because he/she only gets involved when the media prints it or the attorney general is involved. We need a new layer of oversight between all the public sector institutions and the attorney general/ inspector.
