Changing the Culture

For too long, legislators have gone along to get along with the good old boy system in Columbia. They have been more concerned about the perks of their positions than delivering the real change our state needs.  I have challenged the way business is done in Columbia by asking questions and not accepting the status quo. My short time in the Legislature has shown me just how broken our government is.  If you want real improvements to our roads, schools and our economy, we need to continue changing this culture that rewards inaction at the statehouse
