In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Marine Corps Veteran and former firefighter running as a Christian Republican for South Carolina's 7th Congressional District. My life is built on service. I am not a career politician. I am a father and a neighbor who believes we must cut spending, secure our borders, and support our veterans to restore the American Dream. I stand for the Constitution and the hardworking families of the Grand Strand and Pee Dee. It is time for straight talk and real accountability in Washington.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Secure the Border & Rights

We must solve the border crisis with stricter enforcement and deportations. I will defend the Second Amendment by fighting for national constitutional carry and reciprocity to ensure every law-abiding citizen can protect their family.Fiscal Sanity & Growth

Washington’s spending is crushing the American Dream. I will cut taxes, slash wasteful spending, and gut regulations. I am also committed to protecting the Social Security and Medicare benefits our seniors earned through years of hard work.Service & Accountability

As a Marine Veteran and former firefighter, I will fight to end VA waitlists and first responder suicide. I oppose endless wars and will bring straight-talk leadership to the Grand Strand and Pee Dee, putting service ahead of politics.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am driven by a commitment to service. I am deeply passionate about ending the suicide crisis and long waitlists for veterans and first responders. They earned our support, and I will ensure they get it.

My focus is on fiscal sanity: cutting taxes, slashing spending, and removing regulations to restore the American Dream. I stand for securing our borders, defending the Second Amendment through national reciprocity, and protecting the sanctity of life. I will always fight to preserve the Social Security and Medicare benefits our seniors were promised. Washington needs the disciplined leadership and straight talk of a servant-leader.
