Putting SC District 2 First
Where Roger Stands
As your representative, I will fight for common-sense solutions rooted in real-world experience. From rural infrastructure to economic opportunity, from stormwater management to school overcrowding, I will focus on what matters most to the people of SC 2 and South Carolina, not partisan agendas.
I promise to always put our 2nd District first—streamlining every dollar with performance-driven budgeting, investing in career-ready schools and broadband, and building resilient roads, workforce skills, and industry here at home—so that every family, town, and small business can thrive.
Every South Carolinian deserves access to a good job, fair wages, and pathways to entrepreneurship or skilled trades.
My Priorities:
-
Building a skilled, ready workforce through partnerships with local colleges, technical schools, and local tradesmen.
-
Support small business growth through tax incentives and broadband expansion.
-
Attract and grow investment opportunities to rural communities.
-
Build and modernize critical infrastructure to attract industry to the region.
-
No matter the ZIP code, every family deserves access to quality, affordable care.
My Priorities:
-
Reopen or replace shuttered rural hospitals with federal support.
-
Expand funding for community health clinics and mental health services.
-
Lower prescription drug costs and protect Medicare and Medicaid.
-
Sustain and install telehealth for rural and underserved communities through broadband infrastructure modernization.
-
Infrastructure is the backbone of economic opportunity and public safety, from roads to internet access.
My Priorities:
-
Federal investment in rural and suburban road repairs should mirror the investment in the interstate road system.
-
Upgrade stormwater systems through drainpipe, road, and bridge improvements to prevent flooding.
-
Fund high-speed broadband access in the district for economic, health, and educational purposes.
-
Fund investment to modernize infrastructure design to end duplicate costs and repairs.
-
Every child in SC-2 deserves a world-class education in a safe, modern facility, regardless of their ZIP code.
My Priorities:
-
End the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to allow for educational growth that is not limited by government intervention.
-
Raise teacher pay and recruitment in all areas of the district to ensure that the best teachers are available to teach our children.
-
Invest in early childhood education and career-tech programs.
-
Use better broadband infrastructure to expand digital & hands-on learning pathways.
-
It is time to stop wasting taxpayer dollars and deliver real returns for working families.
My Priorities:
-
Insisting upon balancing the budget through aggressive review of fraud, waste, and abuse, and ending duplicate services while protecting entitlements.
-
Oppose unfunded mandates and corporate handouts.
-
Ensure every federal dollar benefits every South Carolina community.
-
Develop alternate revenue streams through innovative decisions.
-
