Protecting Women’s Reproductive Freedom I will work to guarantee women’s reproductive freedom in law.I was able to successfully navigate a male-dominated career in the military, rise to the rank of three-star Admiral, and raise six children because I was able to choose when I had my kids. This issue goes beyond abortion, it’s about having access to the resources needed for family planning. Our government should not be interfering with the decisions a woman makes behind closed doors with her doctor and her family. Additionally, as a mother of five daughters, this is an issue especially important to me. I want my daughters, and all women, to have the same reproductive freedom and rights that I had.

The government should serve people—not parties or special interests. Leadership is about listening, acting with integrity, and making decisions that improve everyday life for families and communities. Above all, we need leaders who uphold the Constitution and who deliver results to the people they serve. My entire career has been rooted in service, and I’m running for Congress to actually deliver results for the Lowcountry and bring much needed common sense leadership and integrity back to Washington.

Hard work should allow people to feel financial stability and to set aside a bit of money for vacation and retirement. Right now, too many people are feeling financial anxiety. I meet voters across the district who go to work every day, but are still forced to make impossible choices, like deciding whether to use their last $50 to buy groceries or pay for medicine. Send me to Washington and I will work to make sure your bills are affordable and that if you work hard you will be able to support your family and get ahead.

Those who serve our nation and our communities deserve the freedom to live in dignity. Service members, veterans, and those who keep our communities running (such as first responders and teachers) deserve competitive pay so they can afford homes in the communities they serve. Hospitality workers who support our $30BN tourism industry should also have access to affordable housing.

I am very concerned by what we have seen from ICE. We cannot have federal law enforcement brutalizing citizens and intimidating immigrant communities in the streets. I have a daughter who is a police officer, and I believe ICE needs to be held to the same standards as our local law enforcement. ICE officers must follow due process and should be required to wear body cameras, display badges and leave their faces uncovered. ICE facilities must be humane, sanitary and safe. It is un-American to allow people to be denied access to basic rights while being held in our care.

I strongly believe we need major improvements to our immigration system. We need to streamline the process to ensure cases are handled efficiently and fairly. A system that takes years to reach a decision does not serve anyone. We can secure the border, enforce the law, and uphold our values at the same time.
