Government reform isn’t optional—it’s overdue.

In District 10, we’ve seen enough: backroom deals, endless sessions, and a system that rewards insiders over everyday folks like us in Powdersville and Piedmont. I grew up here trusting neighbors, not bureaucrats. That’s why I’ll push real change in Columbia—no more career politicians, no more hidden agendas.

First: term limits. South Carolina needs them now—cap service at twelve years total in the House and Senate, like Bill 4462 aims to do. Fresh faces mean fresh ideas, less cronyism. I’ll back that fight hard.

Second: judicial reform. The Judicial Merit Selection Commission is getting cleaned up—Governor appoints all members, stricter ethics rules, no more anonymous surveys or DEI quotas dictating picks. Bills like 696 and 4755 are gaining steam; I’ll make sure they pass, so judges serve justice, not politics.

Third: transparency and ethics. Anderson County already streams meetings and posts budgets—good start—but state-level? We’ll enforce FOI laws, livestream every hearing, cap campaign cash from special interests, and audit waste so every tax dollar shows up where it belongs: roads, schools, safety. No more scandals, no more excuses.

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.
