      1) Spread the Treasurer’s Office expertise and best practices across state government to ensure that the people’s money is well managed and protected.

      2) Continue to enhance the people’s right to a transparent and accountable government. When costly mistakes are made the people should know “who, what, when and where” so that those mistakes are not made a second time.

      3) Specifically, in my term as Treasurer I have: grown Future Scholar, the state’s 529 college savings plan, to more than 200,000 account holders and nearly $6 billion in assets under management, as of August 2022. Also, my administration has returned more than $300 million in unclaimed funds to South Carolinians – more than all previous state treasurers combined. The taxpayers work diligently for their money and their government should be equally diligent in accounting for and protecting it.

      I understand business & finance. I am interested in new technology and the importance of safeguarding assets. I want to make sure that the treasurer's office is led by someone who understands the dynamics of analytical planning so that South Carolina is ready for the future.

      It is unethical for any state official to use state program dollars to further their political agenda. I will be introducing legislation that inhibits politicians from using advertising dollars for state programs to broadcast their name or face.

      As an Alliance Party candidate I am term limited by my party to 3 terms in office. We need a world with citizen leaders, not a political class.
      My tenure as Treasurer has brought much needed and significant change to the office and it is now widely regarded as exceptionally capable and professional. The best practices are employed to manage, invest and custody approximately $45 billion. As State Treasurer, I am committed to reducing costs and eliminating waste and fraud for South Carolinians, including adopting new technologies for more efficient, secure electronic fund transfers.

      Educating constituents from cradle to grave is a personal passion of mine. It is never to early to learn about the power of the dollar and understand how to save for your future or the future of those you love. I also think it is imperative that the state treasurer be able to do the math, understand monetary trends, engage in the broader world, and be open to new ideas and emerging technology. We can only move forward together if we seek to understand each other.
