βPlease 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? Above all else, I am a problem solver. I listen to the people I serve, and do everything in my power to address their concerns and fix the problems. With 40 years experience as a financial planner and risk management expert, I believe that "providing for the common defense" is the most important role of government. Is is elected officials' primary job to foresee the risks ahead and plan and protect against them. That is why most of my proposed bills deal with protecting SC citizens from risks the cannot avoid on their own. Protecting individual liberties is my other key goal. While protecting against major risks as outlined above, the government should promote as much free market activity as possible in terms of jobs, commerce, and freedom to be the best each of us can be. This includes lowering and never raising taxes, avoiding mandates, and promoting self-reliance.β

βIs there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? The recently released film, "Reagan," does an excellent job of portraying how Ronald Reagan evolved from his earliest thoughts, ideas and goals to become the leader of the free world, never losing sight of his vision for a better, stronger America where freedom is protected above all else. I'd say that's a great illustration of my political philosophy. The teachings of the Bible span thousands of years of human history. Everything that could ever happen today occurred in some form long before our time. This is the core of my belief system, and contrary to what some may think, it is not exclusive only to Christians or Jews, it is history that applies to all. Whether you accept its teachings or not, your story is in there somewhere.β
