I seek to protect our local community businesses. I support our farms and recognize that government intervention and over-regulation is one of the biggest hurdles the agriculture industry is facing. I consistently vote against proposals that give the state more power over our business. I do not support crony deals that give one industry or company an advantage over another. Instead, I support lowering the overall tax rates, closing special loopholes, and providing opportunity for all. My goal is to allow the people of South Carolina to succeed and I don't think we need the help of big government for that.
