  • Cost of Living & Affordability

    Supports

    Prioritizes lowering the cost of living - groceries, gas, healthcare and insurance - and delivering economic relief to South Carolina families, in contrast to her brother's national-security focus.

    “I know the struggles our families are facing in grocery store lines and at the gas pump. It's my priority to finally give South Carolinians the economic relief that so many need right now.”

    Opposes

  • Disability Rights

    Supports

    Supports employment and independent living for people with disabilities; her career focus was disability employment, and she pushed for the 2022 state law ending subminimum wage for workers with disabilities.

    “Long before she took the oath as the state's first female senator, she ran programs that helped South Carolinians with disabilities find employment, provide for their families, and live independently.”

  • Election Integrity & Administration

    Supports

    Supports election-integrity measures - voter ID and the SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship to vote - saying only American citizens should vote and making the SAVE America Act her first co-sponsored bill.

    “I believe that if you have to show an ID to check out a library book, you should have to show one to vote. That's why the first bill I co-sponsored was the SAVE America Act.”

  • Fiscal Responsibility & Budgeting

    Supports

    Supports cutting federal waste and reining in spending, applying the budget discipline she used running a $90 million state agency ('What do we need? What is wasteful?') to the federal budget.

    “I am ready to cut waste, rein in reckless spending, and make government work for the taxpayers again.”

  • Gun Policy & Second Amendment

    Supports

    Strongly supports the Second Amendment and opposes gun control, framing 'gun control' as how steady one holds a weapon.

    “I strongly support the Second Amendment, and I believe gun control is how steady you hold your weapon. I once had a concealed weapons permit and scored a 98 on the shooting portion of the test.”
