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?

Managing public money requires transparency, accountability, and a deep understanding of how state decisions affect families—not just balance sheetsSouth Carolina deserves a Treasurer who already knows our communities, our counties, our challenges, and our opportunities—not someone who is introducing themselves to the state for the first time.In the private sector, decisions happen behind closed doors. In public service, every decision must be transparent, accountable, and rooted in the public good.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I respect anyone willing to step into public service. But this moment calls for someone who has already served, already shown up, and already understands the responsibility of managing public dollars.

The Treasurer must be ready on day one. South Carolina can’t afford a learning curve
