Many thanks to Paula & Jerry Goldman and their neighbors in Savannah Lakes for an engaging conversation! We discussed data centers, gun violence, healthcare, education and many other issues that affect McCormick County and all of South Carolina.

Does this help with the rising unemployment rate in South Carolina? Does this make medical care more affordable? Is this making childcare more accessible to working families? Does this improve education outcomes in our public schools?

So let's talk some issues, shall we? Elder care isn't just my passion - it's my BUSINESS! For South Carolina to be ranked 50th in the nation for elder abuse protections (go back and read that!) is not just embarrassing, it borders on criminal neglect by our Republican supermajority.

I've heard a lot of hype from our current state leadership about how South Carolina's economy is roaring. But then again, our state is also 3rd on the list for receiving more $$$ from the federal government than we pay in ($33B more to be precise).
