I am a retired journalist (30+ years) and enjoy running, gardening, birdwatching and beekeeping. I have lived in the Charleston area, known as "east of the Cooper (River) for more than three decades. This is the first time I have run for office.
- I know the community on a very intimate level and understand how it is uneasy about rapid growth.
- People who live here typically chose it for the lifestyle that is connected to the outdoors and nature. My foremost interest is in protecting those assets.
- We can, and must, do better in our area and state in protecting the environment, educating our youth and adult populations, improving the health of all South Carolina, and find smarter ways to get our energy, provide safe and affordable transportation, and improving our health.
1. Conservation and the environment.
2. Public education.
3. Health, with an emphasis on preventing disease, and affordable care.
4. Transportation infrastructure, with an emphasis on trying improve mass transit and provide safe bike and pedestrian transportation.
5. Women's and civil rights.
6. Agriculture - bringing smaller, more diverse farming back to South Carolina with a emphasis on improving not harming the environment.
7. Fair elections and campaign finance reform.
8. Term limits for office holders.
9. Medical cannabis and decriminalization of marijuana.
10. Funding the arts.
Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. because of their determined use of peaceful civil disobedience to achieve goals.

Representing both his or her district - and state - with the goals of achieving the most good for all.
A world where humans conserve resources and respect the beauty and diversity of our rare living planet.

Busboy at a restaurant (2-3 months)
"Walden" because Henry David Thoreau "got it" generations before his time.
Natural Beauty by Neil Young
I don't see much difference between the chambers because both have been dominated by the same party for decades.
1. Continued threats of climate-intensified natural disasters - severe hurricanes, heavy rainfall and periods of drought, sea level rise and of late, tornadoes.
2. The threats of offshore oil drilling, fracking and pipelines to harming our fresh and salt water resources.
3. Continued and declining quality and availability of quality, affordable education, from pre-school to college.
4. Health, health, health.
5. Worsening traffic and air pollution from an expanding population still reliant on single passenger car transportation.
The governor and state legislature must work cooperatively toward the goal of improving everyone's lives in South Carolina.
Of course, you must build relationships to assure respect, courtesy and cooperation.
1. Agriculture, Natural Resources & Environment.
2. Education & Public Works,
3. Ways & Means
James Smith, Vincent Sheehen, Mandy Norrell
Maybe but probably on the county or municipal level.
All of the stories from the Mother Emmanuel AME church shootings have torn our community apart and will be part of it for decades to come. We must improve out attitudes about racism and change gun policies to not let people like Dylann Roof get guns in the first place.
