Public Education

Every child in South Carolina deserves a quality education—no matter their ZIP code, income level, or background. As your representative, I will fight to ensure every student has the tools, support, and opportunity to succeed.

✏️ Invest in Public Schools and Teachers

Our teachers are heroes, yet too many are overworked and underpaid. We must raise teacher salaries to attract and retain top talent, reduce class sizes, and invest in classroom resources. Education funding should go directly to public schools—not siphoned off by corporate voucher schemes.

🛠️ Expand Vocational, Technical & STEM Training

College isn't the only path to success. We need more high school programs that prepare students for skilled trades, advanced manufacturing, computer science, healthcare, and green energy jobs. I support expanding dual-enrollment, apprenticeships, and job certification pipelines.

🚌 Support Rural and Underserved Communities

In rural districts and low-income neighborhoods, students too often face outdated buildings, bus shortages, and a lack of broadband access. I will fight for fair funding formulas and federal investments to close the gap for these communities—ensuring no student is left behind.

📚 Protect Education from Political Interference

Politicians shouldn't be rewriting history books or banning honest discussions in classrooms. I will defend educators' rights to teach the truth, foster critical thinking, and build inclusive schools where every student feels safe and respected.
