I’ve fought for common-sense protections in Bluffton and Beaufort, and I’ll bring that same fight to the ACE Basin and Colleton county. Let’s choose a future that protects our air, water, wildlife, and families.

I had the honor to stand with Lowcountry residents last night who are demanding transparency, safety, & clean energy for Colleton County. I spoke in opposition of the Canadys Gas Plant that Dominion & Santee Electric Cooper are proposing for the Ace Basin.

We shouldn’t ask our neighbors to trade one fossil fuel burden for another, especially one that threatens 70+ acres of or pristine wetlands with new pipelines. We can provide reliable energy for SC without ruining our most sacred national treasures.

South Carolina considers joining interstate compact to address teacher vacancies As school districts across South Carolina continue to grapple with teacher shortages, state lawmakers are advancing legislation they say could help fill classrooms more quickly.

I've never been happier for a TACO Tuesday! The next two weeks must see tangible action from Congress, to rein in the president, and ensure that the threat of Nukes remain off the table, even in 3am social media posts.

This is not about fiscal responsibility. The money exists. This administration is making a deliberate choice about who is worth protecting, and working families with children are not on that list.

Live 5 News Follow 2h X President Trump said he told White House budget director Russell Vought, "'Don't send any money for day care,' because the United States can't take care of day care."

When I am in Congress, I will remember what the residents in the Lowcountry are telling me - they want a New American Dream.
