Why are you running for office in Colleton?
The reason that I am running is that I want to help carry the county forward.

What do you consider the main issue facing the community?
The three main issues that I see that are facing this county are economic development, education and litter.

How will you address that issue?
Economic Development: Use my position on the council to work with local economic development organizations to facilitate growth by providing any recourses that the county has to give, pushing state agencies for more money for infrastructure improvements.
Education: Use my position on council to advocate support for the local school district and work with the school board to improve the education system within the community.
Litter: Work to have a paid part-time executive director for KCB, expand the KCB Board and use my position on council to advocate for better awareness of the importance of a litter-free community and push for increased enforcement of litter laws within the county.
