Unions pose a clear and present threat to South Carolina. We will not allow big labor unions and the Biden administration's pro-union policies to undermine our economy, as they have done in so many other states.

A quality education requires input from those who know children best: their parents. Sadly, radical and secretive gender policies have shut parents out of the conversation and broken their trust. I'm fighting to fix it.

I went to public school k-12 in a another state & got an excellent education. When I came to SC I was shocked at how different my education experience was from SC natives. Everything from academics to sex ed to arts. The issue isn’t public schools, it’s lack of funding & support.
