In Anderson County, we’ve always stood for family, faith, and shielding the vulnerable. I grew up watching neighbors support moms in crisis, welcome adopted kids, and show up when it mattered. Those values—compassion, duty, community—still drive me.

Life is sacred—from the moment of conception.

South Carolina’s six-week heartbeat law protects most unborn children by recognizing a heartbeat as proof of life. I support it fully, but I also back smart, compassionate exceptions: for the life of the mother when her health is truly at risk, and—within strict limits—for cases of rape or incest. No one should be forced into tragedy, but we must keep protections tight—no loopholes, no late-term abuses, no mail-order pills slipping through.

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.

Because in our community, we value every heartbeat. We protect the innocent. And as your representative, I’ll fight for both—pro-life, with heart and reason.
