<p>South Carolina's 7th Congressional District, home to the Grand Strand and one of the nation's premier tourism destinations, faces a paradox:<strong> the very industry that drives our economy leaves thousands of working families in crisis every year. </strong>While tourism brings prosperity to our region, the seasonal nature of hospitality employment creates a cycle of economic instability that threatens the foundation of our communities.</p>

<p><strong>Clean up Washington and make it live within its means</strong><br></p><p>Washington is broken because too many politicians serve their party and donors rather than the people who elected them. I will bring the same accountability I brought to every command I led: real term limits, a ban on congressional stock trading, and an end to the dark money that drowns out your voice. And I will make the federal government live within its means, the way every family in this district already has to.</p>

<p>By launching an unprovoked military attack and kidnapping a head of state without congressional approval or international authorization, President Trump has transformed America from the defender of international law into its violator.

<p>Several counties in South Carolina have recently been approached by developers of large data centers, and more will be in the future. Artificial Intelligence and "cloud computing" technologies have greatly increased the need for these facilities, bringing both opportunity and challenge.</p><p><strong>County officials face difficult decisions when approached by data center developers. </strong>The financial promises made by these corporations are powerful and designed to be hard to refuse. </p>

<h4>Data Center Proposals: Balancing the Checkbook with Regional Reality</h4>

<p><strong>Good jobs, strong farms and small businesses, and a fair shot for our kids.</strong></p><p>I built a small business here from nothing, so I know what it takes to make payroll and what it feels like when Washington gets in the way. Opportunity in the 7th District runs through our small businesses, our family farms, the Grand Strand tourism economy, and the schools that prepare the next generation. I will restore the programs that help small businesses grow, give our farmers the stable trade they can plan around, and build schools and training that lead to real careers right here at home.<br></p>
