  • I went on Matt Gaetz show to talk about abuses in the H1B Visa program and the outsourcing of South Carolina Jobs. Did you know Sonoco outsourced its IT division to India? Those jobs belong to kids from Coker and Francis Marion University. I also spoke about the fact that we are building houses with Canadian Lumber instead of Lumber from right here in South Carolina.

  • South Carolina needs jobs. High tech paper mills, High tech textiles, and our farming infrastructure needs high tech updates. That all starts by putting a high tech shop class in every middle and high school in SC and making tech college free. Companies will cover the cost because they need the labor. We can invest now and save later.

  • For too long The Humane Society of South Carolina has been under funded. I am on a mission to make sure South Carolina Animal Shelters have the funding they need. The way we treat animals reflects on us as a State and as a civilization.
