Announcement Speech

Good Afternoon & Welcome.

Charleston County is a special place and I am proud to have served on County Council for the last seven years. I am proud to have worked across party lines to fight out of control growth, improve planning, and to have never, ever voted for a property tax increase. We have great people in this county - people of faith, people who take pride in their neighborhoods and who take pride in their families. We are a truly blessed community.
