JOSH'S PLAN
TO SAVE SOUTH CAROLINA
South Carolina Deserves a Change
Promote God, Family, and Faith: Champion policies that prioritize family values and faith-based principles. It’s time to bring God back into our daily lives.
​
Uphold Founding Fathers’ Republic: Emphasize governance based on the principles of a constitutional republic as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, not a pure democracy. We need to keep the Republic, to maintain is to keep respect for the rule of law. “One Nation Under God.”
​
Eliminate South Carolina Personal Income Tax: Reduce and eliminate state income tax and replace it with a reformed sales tax system by closing loopholes, following the model of states like Tennessee, Florida, and Texas. Create Tax breaks or incentives for small businesses.
​
Universal School Choice: Implement tax credits and school choice options including religious charter schools, for every child and family in South Carolina, ensuring access regardless of location, race, or income. It is time to strengthen our education system and give every child a unique, quality education. School choice is a quality choice, having quality schools is mandatory for every child in South Carolina.
​
Establish SC Office of Parental Rights: Establish Ombudsmen to report to the Governor to ensure no government bureaucracy encroaches and protect parents’ rights to raise their children in areas of education, religious instruction, and healthcare decisions, preventing government overreach. It takes a community to raise a child, but not a Government.
​
Sunset Government Regulations: Create a DOGE panel to use AI, to keep or illuminate the burdensome regulations that harm small businesses and job creation that will then go to the legislature and Governor within the first 100 days in office. Every 5 years, Regulatory agencies will need reauthorization by the legislature and Governor to continue, reducing unjust rules and spending, for the people of South Carolina.
​
Improve Veterans Healthcare and Housing: Prioritize reforming and enhancing veterans’ healthcare services and housing in SC to ensure quality of living, timely, high-quality care, addressing inefficiencies and expanding access to meet the needs of all veterans with an emphasis on mental health.
​
Modernize the DMV: Streamline services with a user-friendly mobile app for license renewals, vehicle registrations, and digital IDs; implement online system to reduce wait times; expand self-service kiosks and mobile units for rural access; and integrate automatic voter registration to boost civic engagement, ensuring an efficient, equitable, and secure experience for all.
