I was raised to prioritize kindness, integrity, and being present for others when it matters most. It is now my desire to bring those same principles to Columbia by representing every resident of this district with dedication and honor. Stewart Watson

About me

I was raised in District 10 of Anderson County and attended all of my public schooling in the Anderson District 1 school system. Many of my closest friends today are those I first met in elementary school, and I continue to maintain strong relationships with several of them.

Growing up in this close-knit community instilled in me the enduring importance of small-town values. It fostered a deep sense of community and a strong personal responsibility to the people and places that shaped me. I carry with me many cherished memories from my childhood here and feel a genuine, longstanding connection to this district and its residents.

The tight-knit nature of our community taught me early on the value of trust, accountability, and loyalty. I was also raised to prioritize kindness, integrity, and being present for others when it matters most. It is now my desire to bring those same principles to Columbia by representing every resident of this district with dedication and honor.

Vision for the District

My Political Vision

Pro-Life

Abortion isn’t healthcare—it’s ending a life. That’s why I’ll push in Columbia for real help: stronger prenatal care, local crisis centers, adoption pathways right here in District 10. We’ll save babies, support mothers, and hold the line against extremists who want no limits at all.

High Taxation

I’ll fight to lock in more relief: expand senior breaks statewide, cap millage hikes (especially school and fire districts in our area), push for the Small Business Tax Cut to ease personal property hits on local owners, and block any sneaky increases from Columbia.

2nd Amendment

I’ll fight every day in Columbia to defend your right to keep and bear arms. No red-flag laws, no magazine bans, no backdoor registration—none of it. South Carolina has led with constitutional carry; I’ll make sure we stay ahead, not behind.

Infrastructure

District 10 faces worn county roads, aging bridges with weight limits, and drainage problems that lead to flooding after heavy rains. Powdersville sees growing pressure on key routes like SC 153 and connectors to Highway 81 and 86, with potholes, poor shoulders, and infrastructure struggling to keep pace with our expanding communities.

Education

South Carolina’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund is already helping: thousands of families get up to seven-thousand-six-hundred-thirty-four dollars this year for private tuition, tutoring, or homeschool supplies. I’ll fight in Columbia to grow the program, remove caps, and make sure low-income kids in Powdersville and Piedmont aren’t left out.

Immigration

South Carolina’s stepping up: the House just passed a bill forcing local sheriffs to partner with ICE, cracking down on illegal activity right where it starts. I’ll push that forward in Columbia—full 287(g) cooperation, no sanctuary nonsense, and real border funding from D.C. No more catch-and-release. No more fentanyl flooding our towns.

My Political Beliefs

Business

I have been the owner of Antonio’s for years. With that part of my life behind me, I want to serve my hometown in another in another way as your public servant and your voice of District 10 in Columbia.

Veterans

I’ll be a fierce advocate in Columbia. We’ll protect and expand what works: full property tax exemptions for 100% disabled vets on homes and vehicles, free hunting/fishing licenses, tuition waivers for their kids at state schools, and income-tax-free military retirement. I’ll push for more funding to our local VA Clinic, better mental health access, faster claims, and no waitlists.

Law Enforcement

grew up here knowing these folks aren’t just badges—they’re neighbors who coach ball, help after storms, and put their lives on the line every shift. But they face attacks, burnout, and politics that tie their hands. No more.

Government Reform

Government should serve us, not the other way around. As your representative, I’ll drain the swamp—right here in South Carolina. Pro-reform. Pro-accountability. Pro-District 10.

Child Protection

I’ll push harder in Columbia: tougher trafficking penalties, more crisis centers for moms, easier adoption, fentanyl crackdowns with local sheriffs, and funding for mental health spots so no kid falls through cracks. Keep innocence safe, families strong—because when children thrive, our community does.

Election Integrity

I’ll back closed primaries—like Bill 5356 pushing for party registration starting twenty twenty-seven—so only Republicans vote in our primaries, no cross-over tricks or independents crashing the party. Voter ID? Make it easier—free IDs, no excuses. No widespread mail-in chaos; keep it limited, tracked, and secure
