Service Is a Responsibility

I never planned to run for office. But I've watched too many decisions being made without listening to the people who have to live with them.

As a military veteran, I learned that when you raise your hand to serve, you accept responsibility for something bigger than yourself. Those lessons of duty, accountability, and putting people first continue to guide me today.

Today, I am running for the South Carolina State House District 4 because I believe too many families are being left behind. I am a neighbor who believes public service still matters and that leadership begins with listening and doing the work.

I served my country. I served you. Now, I need your vote.
