- "Mandatory minimums have exacerbated the current mass incarceration crisis by forcing judges to give nonviolent offenders harsher sentences. 77% of all Americans agree that mandatory minimums for nonviolent drug offenders should be eliminated. We must trust our judges to make fair and proportionate sentencing decisions on a case by case basis." (votesmart.org)
- "No economy can function without proper infrastructure. Our highways, bridges, dams, and waterways are the backbone of a prosperous American society. Infrastructure projects are not only good for our long-term economic growth, but they create quality jobs as well. Tackling these projects sooner rather than later will save billions of taxpayer dollars in the future, and keep American commerce strong." (votesmart.org)
- "We cannot resolve our national debt by ignoring it; we must make balanced budgets a fiscal priority. Nor can we restore balance to the budget through cuts alone. We can only put our country's finances back on track through a combination of tax reforms and by taking a serious look at all areas of spending. It is morally imperative that Congress does not try to rectify its irresponsibility by slashing programs helping our most vulnerable, while wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on ventures that help no one."

- "I'm proud to stand with both the Greenville and Spartanburg Chambers of Commerce in speaking out against the so-called bathroom bill that's been introduced in the General Assembly. Our business communities understand that bills like these are bad for business here in South Carolina, and it's important that we continue to stand up against discrimination in all forms. But, more importantly, bills like these do not represent our South Carolina values of hospitality and kindness towards our neighbors. I'm proud to see the progress we've made with civil rights and equality in our state, and I'm proud to continue that fight every day with my campaign." (votesmart.org)
- "Few groups in history can match the barbarism of ISIS. Destroying ISIS must be a top national security objective for the U.S. and its allies. We can do this effectively by providing intel and overwhelming air support for friendly local fighters, letting them take control of their own destiny. This partnership has led to many military victories against ISIS, without repeating our mistakes of the past." (votesmart.org)
