South Carolina, I'm in! I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Too many South Carolina families are struggling to make ends meet. High gas prices and soaring grocery costs are hurting hardworking people.

We need a conservative fighter in the Senate who delivers real results. I will be your conservative MAGA candidate in the special primary Senate election this summer.

I'm ready for the fight, and I'm all in. Join us: https://t.co/KXAVtAHycP

Our kids deserve real, healthy food, and our farmers deserve to be first in line.

South Carolina schools should prioritize fresh, South Carolina-grown products over processed food shipped in by out-of-state corporations.

Putting produce from the farmer down the road on the lunch tray instead of food loaded with dyes and preservatives is a win for South Carolina families and a win for South Carolina agriculture.

My focus is simple. As governor, I will make South Carolina more affordable for your family, more profitable for your business, and more accountable to you. I’m a combat veteran, a proven prosecutor, and trusted by nearly 80% of Republican sheriffs to keep your family safe. I’m asking for your vote on June 9th.

SENATE REPUBLICANS DELIVER TOUGH-ON-CRIME DUI BILL

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Earlier today the South Carolina Senate passed major reforms to overhaul South Carolina’s DUI laws and help keep drunk drivers off the roads.

Last night Governor McMaster gave his 9th and final State of the State address. When he leaves office in January he will have been at the helm of our state for a decade. That makes Governor McMaster the longest serving governor in our state history.

First day back in Columbia for 2026. We have a full schedule for this session. One of the first things on the docket is an overhaul of South Carolina DUI laws. Doing what is needed to make South Carolina roads safer.

Spent the day up in Campobello SC today sharing some thought on the Get’ta Steppin’ podcast. https://t.co/pQFOC5fQKS
We talk about serious issues facing rural South Carolina.

Held an open house in Bennettsville last week. Spoke with several members of the community about problems they are facing on a daily basis in Marlboro County and things we can do to fix it. First time I have ever used a paving machine as a platform.

After all these years, I finally broke down and got an X. Looking forward to keeping the people of South Carolina updated on what’s going on in the state house and in the 29th district.
