I’m running because I believe South Carolina’s agricultural future depends on honoring the legacy of the farmers who built our communities while investing in the next generation. As the descendant of farmers and the grandson of a third-generation farmer from Clarendon County, I’ve seen both the promise and the challenges facing family farms. This campaign is about honoring what built us and building what comes next — strengthening farms, food systems, and rural communities across our state.

Your contribution helps us reach voters across South Carolina and build a grassroots movement for agriculture and rural communities. Donations support campaign activities like community events, travel across the state, outreach to farmers and voters, and communicating our vision for South Carolina’s agricultural future.
