FOR CONGRESS - SC's 1st District
National Issues That Matter
Addressing the Challenges Facing South Carolina and Our Country
The decisions made in Washington impact families, small businesses, and communities across the Lowcountry. As the world changes, South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District deserves clear priorities, steady leadership, and a commitment to addressing the national issues shaping our future. These are the topics most often raised by people across our region—and the focus areas that matter to families throughout the United States.
1
Border Security & National Sovereignty
A secure nation begins with a secure border. Families across the Lowcountry consistently express concerns about immigration policy, national safety, and the strain placed on local resources.
Strong border enforcement, modernized technology, and clear immigration standards are central to restoring order and ensuring the safety of communities nationwide.
2
Economic Stability & the Cost of Living
Rising prices, high interest rates, and workforce shortages affect families from Charleston to Beaufort and across the country.
A strong national economy requires predictable tax policy, responsible federal spending, and support for American workers. Economic stability helps small businesses grow, strengthens household budgets, and keeps the Lowcountry competitive.
3
Energy Independence & Lower Costs for Families
Energy prices directly impact everything from grocery bills to utility costs. Strengthening America’s energy independence, through a diverse mix of traditional and emerging energy sources, helps lower household expenses and reduces dependence on foreign nations.
Stable, affordable energy is essential for national security and economic resilience.
4
National Security & Support for the Military
South Carolina is home to thousands of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families.
Protecting the country requires consistent investment in national defense, modern technology, strong intelligence capabilities, and support for those who serve.
A stable and prepared military helps safeguard American interests at home and abroad.
5
Parental Rights & Education Standards
Families across the country are calling for stronger academic standards, transparency, and accountability in schools.
Ensuring parents remain informed and engaged in their children’s education is essential for student success.
A strong national education system supports local schools and prepares the next generation for a changing workforce.
6
Public Safety & Crime Prevention
Communities nationwide are facing challenges related to crime, law enforcement resources, and community trust.
A strong public safety foundation requires cooperation among local, state, and federal entities, as well as policies that promote fairness, accountability, and safety.
7
Healthcare Access & Affordability
From rising insurance premiums to limited provider availability, healthcare continues to be a key concern for families across the Lowcountry and the nation.
Improving affordability, expanding access in underserved areas, and reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens remain central to strengthening America’s healthcare system.
8
Strengthening American Infrastructure
Reliable infrastructure, roads, bridges, ports, broadband, and utilities, is critical for economic growth and quality of life.
Federal investment must balance modernization with responsible spending while ensuring that fast-growing regions like the Lowcountry have the resources they need.
9
Preserving Constitutional Rights & Civil Liberties
Across the country, Americans continue to voice concerns about government overreach, data privacy, and the protection of foundational rights.
Clear, consistent policies that uphold the Constitution help maintain trust in institutions and safeguard individual freedoms.
