Washington is broken because too many career politicians have forgotten who they work for. I’m not running for Congress to join the establishment. I’m running to clean it up. That means term limits, banning insider trading by members of Congress, ending lobbyist gifts, and restoring accountability to a system that has put insiders ahead of the American people for far too long.

Over the past several months, I’ve traveled across the Lowcountry meeting with voters, listening to families, and talking about the challenges facing our country: rising costs, reckless spending, an open border, and a government that too often puts politics ahead of people. This campaign is about bring
