Jasmine Williams — Healthcare — promised Jasmine Williams's Ballotpedia questionnaire answer indicates a stated position on Healthcare: Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? In Oconee and Pickens Counties, our households are struggling afford basic necessities — not because people aren't work Quote: “Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? In Oconee and Pickens Counties, our households are struggling afford basic necessities — not because people aren't working, but because wages are too low, healthcare is too expensive, and the cost of living keeps rising while representation stays the same. I'm running because working families in District 1 deserve a representative who fights for them every single day — for a living wage, affordable healthcare, quality schools, and roads that are safe to drive. I'm not a career politician. I'm your neighbor, and I'm ready to work. District 1 is home to the Chattooga River, Lake Keowee, the Blue Ridge foothills, and some of the most beautiful land in the Southeast. That's not just scenery — it's our drinking water, our economy, and our identity. I work every day for a local environmental nonprofit because I believe protecting this land critical to every resident of South Carolina, and beyond. As your representative, I will fight to keep our water clean, our forests standing, and our natural heritage intact for generations to come.” Source: Jasmine Williams - Ballotpedia — https://ballotpedia.org/Jasmine_Williams Report source issue: https://www.ballotvibe.com/trust?election=sc-candidate-profile-enrichment&claimReference=Jasmine+Williams+%E2%80%94+Healthcare&sourceUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fballotpedia.org%2FJasmine_Williams#corrections 12.
