Working People Deserve a Voice.

I'm running for House District 34 because too many hardworking families are doing everything right and still struggling to get ahead. The American Dream isn't dead, but it's getting harder to reach—and if we want to protect it, we must act now.

This campaign isn't about Republicans or Democrats. It's about delivering real results for the people of our community. It's about less politics and more progress.

My priorities are simple: keep housing affordable for working families, expand access to affordable healthcare, ensure growth strengthens our neighborhoods and public safety, and protect every citizen's right to vote.

I'm not a career politician, and this isn't a big-money campaign. We're a grassroots movement powered by neighbors, workers, parents, retirees, and everyday people who believe our community deserves leadership that listens and puts people first.

Together, we can build a stronger economy, safer communities, and greater opportunities for future generations.

The American Dream is worth fighting for. Together, we can save it.

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?

Affordable housing now. We have to keep rent and homeownership within reach for working families by expanding housing options and addressing rising costs. No one working full-time should be priced out of their own community.Expanding access to affordable healthcare.

We need to lower costs and make sure every family can get the care they need without financial strain. Healthcare shouldn’t be a luxury, it’s a necessity.Smart growth and Safe communities.

We’re seeing development come into our area—but it has to work for us. That means making sure developers pay their fair share and that growth actually strengthens our infrastructure, safety, and quality of life—not strains it.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about policies that expand opportunity and strengthen economic security for working families. Too many South Carolinians are struggling with rising housing costs, healthcare expenses, and barriers to getting ahead. That's why I care deeply about affordable housing, access to quality healthcare, workforce development, and creating pathways to economic mobility.

I am also committed to protecting voting rights and ensuring every eligible voter can participate in our democracy. Ultimately, I believe government should focus on practical solutions that help people build stable lives, support their families, and achieve the American Dream.
