Human Rights and Civil Liberties

In South Carolina, your rights shouldn’t depend on who you are or who you know.

Defend Equal Protection Under the Law

Human rights start with the Constitution:

  • Protection against discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or disability

  • Supporting equal access to housing, employment, and education

  • Ensuring state agencies treat citizens fairly and transparently

Protect civil liberties and personal freedom

  • Protecting voting access and election integrity

  • Safeguarding free speech

  • Protecting religious liberties

  • Guarding privacy rights

  • Protection against exploitation, including AI exploitation

Freedom means the government doesn’t overreach, but also doesn’t ignore injustice.

Protect Women, Children, and Vulnerable Populations

  • Strengthen protections against domestic violence

  • Improve foster care oversight

  • Strengthen access against hate crimes

  • Strengthen anti-bullying regulations

  • Seriously address human trafficking and AI related sexual misconduct related to any person, especially minors

  • Support disability rights and elder protections

Ensure Fairness in Healthcare & Public Services

  • No discrimination in healthcare access

  • Protecting patient dignity

  • Expanding mental health services

  • Ensuring rural communities are not left behind

Human rights include the right to dignity when you’re sick, vulnerable, or in crisis.

Accountability in Government

Human rights are protected when government is accountable.

  • Full transparency in state decision-making

  • Ethical standards enforcement

  • Protecting whistleblowers

  • Ensuring agencies follow the law

Balance Security with Humanity

  • Support lawful immigration processes

  • Oppose cruelty and unnecessary family separation. Keep families together

  • Support due process

Term Limits & Accountability

  • Reasonable term limits for state legislators.

  • Leadership should rotate so fresh ideas can move our state forward.

  • No one should hold power so long that they become disconnected from the people they represent.

  • Transparency, ethics reform, and stronger accountability standards must accompany any term limit reform.

  • Voters deserve representatives who serve with urgency, not comfort.

  • The State House belongs to the people of South Carolina, not career politicians.

I pledge to work hard on our Human Rights and Liberties as South Carolina State Representative and help our communities flourish responsibly.
