The facts don’t match the talking points.
Inflation remains high. Manufacturing jobs are falling. Tariffs are raising costs on many individuals and families.

I served in law enforcement to protect people, not intimidate them. What happened to Renee Good was unjustifiable, tragic, and insane. Congress must put this administration in check.

If the U.S. government were serious about combating fentanyl, it would be putting sustained pressure on China and India.
And if Congress were serious, it would stop deferring to slogans and demand a coherent, lawful policy.

These things can all be true: Maduro is a thug. America must lead. And we cannot lead the free world by breaking our own laws and bypassing Congress.

Launching war and pursuing regime change without Congressional approval is blatantly illegal and reckless. It erodes the rule of law and America’s credibility on the world stage. An administration that refuses to invest in healthcare but races into war has its priorities dangerously wrong.

America’s strength comes from how we use force, not just that we have it. What happened in the Caribbean crosses a line we cannot afford to ignore.

Since August, I’ve been out in communities across the Lowcountry, holding open public town halls and hearing directly from the people of this district. No other candidate in this race has been doing that. It’s clear from every stop that this district is ready for new leadership.

Is housing affordable in the Lowcountry?
And no, 50 year home loans are not going to solve the problem.
