  • Sheriff P.J. Tanner is endorsing Hower for District 5. Nearly 30 years. Seven terms. One of the most respected law enforcement leaders in South Carolina history. Sheriff Tanner has spent his career serving and protecting Beaufort County, and I'm honored to have his endorsement and full support heading into the June 23rd runoff. That trust means everything to me and I won't take it for granted. If you know Sheriff Tanner, you know his word carries weight. I intend to bring that same standard o

  • The roads can't handle it. Neither can the sewer. Or the schools. This isn't anti-growth. This is math. When you approve 53,000 new units without a coordinated infrastructure plan, roads, water, sewer, schools, you don't get a thriving community. You get gridlock, pressure drops, overcrowded classrooms, and a county scrambling to catch up with a check it can't write. Smart growth means building the foundation first. I'll make sure growth pays its fair share, and not a dollar less. Vote Hower
