As a Conservative Republican, I believe in basic principles of self-reliance and accountability. We live in the greatest country that has ever existed, and we are free to strive for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. With hard work, principled living, and responsibility, anyone can succeed here. Can our government play a role? Absolutely! Our government can promote legislation that nurtures entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity by limiting the amount of regulations placed on thriving South Carolina small businesses and lowering the tax responsibility of business owners so they can invest in job growth. In the State House, I will represent the citizens in my district by always supporting bills and enforcing laws that foster job growth and economic opportunities.
