I will fight to protect our public education and propose common sense ideas that will enhance our crumbling education infrastructure.Ensuring that the achievement of homeownership is attainable and equitable for all South Carolinians. Expanding attainable housing options by increasing down payment assistance and incentivizing tax credits for first time homebuyers will make the American dream a reality for more South Carolinians. Additionally, to meet the need of the growing need of workforce housing, the State should make the SC Housing Bond Mortgage Program more accessible.
