Good morning, FB family! ☀️

I’m attending a master class to deepen my understanding of data centers, their potential benefits, and their impact on our communities.

What questions would you like me to ask? Your thoughts and concerns matter, and I want to make sure your voices are part of the conversation.

Drop your questions in the comments below!

House District 41:

Wow! I never mentioned anyone by name, yet some of these comments speak volumes.

My responsibility is to listen to my constituents, understand their concerns, and stay informed about the issues affecting their lives. I simply shared what was stated directly to me. Why some have become so defensive is a question worth asking.

Many people in this district have overcome tremendous struggles, and everyone has a story worth telling. Life's challenges are no respecter of persons, and neither should our compassion, understanding, or willingness to help others be.

What I find particularly interesting is that some who criticize my career in government have built careers in government themselves. Others who criticize government assistance have benefited from government funding. Why should public service or government assistance be acceptable for some but criticized when it involves others?

Nothing is absolute, and no one is above being questioned. We should be willing to examine the facts and apply the same standards to everyone.

This is my page, and I will continue to ask questions, listen to my constituents, and encourage meaningful dialogue. My focus remains on the people of this district and their future.

Wishing everyone a blessed day!

Back to the question:
“I do not believe in socialism because when the government gives people something for free, it makes them lazy.”
What does this statement mean to you? Do you believe that receiving government assistance discourages people from working, or can such assistance provide a pathway to greater stability and self-sufficiency?
More importantly, would you support a candidate who holds this belief, regardless of who that candidate is or which political party they represent?
I welcome your honest thoughts and perspectives.

During a recent town hall in Chester, South Carolina, someone asked me, “What gives you the hope and determination to continue seeking the opportunity to serve the people of South Carolina House District 41?”
As I reflected on that question this morning, my thoughts returned to this:

A MOMENT IN HISTORY: REAL LEADERSHIP. REAL RESULTS.

When a constituent speaks, I listen. When I see a need, I strive to take action. I may not be perfect, and I cannot be everywhere at once, but I make every effort to show up, remain accessible, and serve with a genuine heart. My commitment to the people of House District 41 is not measured by how many places I can be seen, but by the difference I work to make in the lives of those I serve.

Example: A constituent brought to my attention that certain Medicare Advantage plans offered eligible members a utility allowance to help pay their electric bills. However, Fairfield Electric Cooperative was not accepting those benefits at the time.

Recognizing that this assistance could make a meaningful difference for individuals and families struggling to keep their lights on, I reached out directly to the CEO of Fairfield Electric Cooperative.

Through our shared commitment to serving people, we worked together to find a solution. As a result, Fairfield Electric began accepting eligible utility assistance benefits provided through UnitedHealthcare—a change that has been in place for several years.

What began as one constituent's concern became an opportunity to help others across our community.

This is what constituent service means to me: listening to the people I represent, building relationships, identifying solutions, and working to remove barriers that prevent individuals from receiving the assistance available to them.

Sometimes, making a difference begins with a single phone call. But it takes commitment, collaboration, and follow-through to turn that call into meaningful change.

One constituent. One concern. One collaborative solution that opened the door for others to receive help keeping their lights on.
