Control Over Your Healthcare
Have control of your overall healthcare and not letting insurance and hospitals decide how you are cared for. We must move away from supply-driven health care systems organized around what insurance companies will approve or deny and what doctors dictate and shift the focus on what the patient needs. Stopping big pharma's tactics to increase sales and control medications. Having our medications made in the USA. Your overall health starts in your mouth, oral health and heart health are related. Dental insurance to stop forcing out of network providers to go In network, dictating the care that we give to our patients.

Executive Office of Health Policy
Against Bill H 4927 now before the Senate- Not giving too much power to the hands of one person to control your health decisions. This is centralization of power It is putting all of the medical bureaucrats under one chief bureaucrat. The house just passed this bill but it still has a few more steps to reach The governors desk. As a doctor I am committed to educating my patients on how to best care for themselves. Not just in caring for individual health in understanding the broader needs of our community. So we can have freedom to choose what healthcare best suits us as individuals and not what government chooses for Us. (No 2 individuals are alike). My commitment extends beyond the dental chair, embracing pivotal issues that impact our lives and futures.

Protecting Senior Citizens
Protecting the senior citizens and how they are cared for. Guardians for our elders. It is my commitment to protecting the senior members of the community. I am a vigilant protector of the elderly residents. I am dedicated to enhancing services for senior citizens, ensuring they receive the care and protection they deserve. Aging and senior services hold a special place in my dedication to public service. Enhancing services for our senior citizens, it's not just a policy stance. It's a moral imperative. Protecting our elderly, ensuring they have the support and laws to safeguard their well- being is a priority. They have contributed so much to our society; it's our turn to ensure their dignity and security in their golden years..

Repairing Our Roads
Fight for More of Greenville County's funding to repair our roads and bridges, that are way overdue for repairs.
Do our spending priorities line up with the repairing our crumbling infrastructure? Policymakers continue to prioritize repair and “fix-it-first,” yet we have little to show for their empty words. Priorities shows that the conditions of our roadways have not improved, perpetuating a costly backlog of roads in poor condition.
What sets me apart is my commitment to genuinely listen to your concerns about our local and state roads, our community, our families and its future.

Protecting Our Small Businesses
Protecting Our small businesses, venues and bars from frivolous lawsuits, shutting our businesses down. People have to be responsible for their actions. Lawyers become senators and vote for laws that benefit them, such as lawsuits against our venues and bars. Community first, corporations second. There is a clear line between my support for the local community and the interest of large corporations. It communicates my stance on putting the needs and well-being of local residents and businesses at the forefront of my campaign. Supporting small businesses is a cause close to my heart. As someone who has navigated the complexities of running a small practice, I understand firsthand the challenges local, businesses face. I firmly believe that investing in our small businesses is essential. In an era where corporations dominate, it's crucial we create an environment where small businesses' can thrive. Preserving the unique character of our communities and ensuring economic diversity.
