Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I feel that true reform needs to come to SC. For too long, our government has not been held accountable for the policies that have been enacted for our state. These policies have hurt the citizens of SC in many different ways.
I am passionate about education. My wife is a teacher. I watch her struggle year to year wondering where the money would come from to supply her classroom to the point this year where she wondered if she would even have a job. My wife, after being excessed from her position, had to struggle to find another job in the district when there were few jobs available due to budget cuts in her district.
Spouse's Occupation:
