• 🚨🚨🚨 LEXINGTON COUNTY! Tomorrow, you have an IMPORTANT choice to make — and my good friend, County Councilwoman Beth Carrigg, has my complete and total endorsement! Here's the reality, y'all: we have enough ALL TALK, NO ACTION POLITICIANS, and we certainly don't need to elect anymore politicians who suddenly discover our community's challenges when it's election season.

• 🗣️ MUST READ: I did not get elected to Town of Lexington, SC Town Council to sit back, shy away from asking questions, and just to go along to get along. I’m not here “to make friends,” and I certainly don’t care if I “ruffle feathers.” Quite frankly, I see it this way: I was elected to be a voice for you. To stand up for you. To ask questions.

• 🚨 Serving on Town of Lexington, SC Town Council has shown me just how important local government is, and I believe it’s more important than ever for cities and towns to have a strong partner in the Governor’s Office. For far too long, local communities across South Carolina have been expected to deal with traffic, aging infrastructure, public safety challenges, and rapid growth without enough support from the state. It’s far past time we elect a Governor who understands that the best solution

• 📊 As the FY2027 budget was being prepared, I was asked what mattered most to me as staff worked through their recommendations for this year. My answer was simple: taking care of our staff, no tax increases, and roads. That doesn’t mean other things aren’t important — there’s always more I want to get done. But budgets are budgets, and resources only go so far. These are consistently the top issues I hear about from our citizens. Today, I want to focus on the topic of taking care of our empl
