Quotes are taken from each campaign's own website (first sentences of the section, unedited). Topics are assigned by keyword; we do not summarize or score positions. "No public position found" means we did not find the topic on the campaign site, not that the candidate has no view.
I do the grocery shopping for my family. I’ve watched prices climb on everything from milk to eggs to bananas, while politicians in Washington do nothing. Families are doing everything right and still falling behind, while billionaires and corporations get special treatment. That’s not ok with me.source
Darline is fiercely protective of taxpayer dollars. She managed a $90 million budget and turned around a state agency known for inefficiency — and she brings that same standard to Washington. Lower taxes. Less waste. More jobs.source
I’ve sat beside parents who don’t know how they’ll pay for their child’s medication. I’ve seen hospitals close their doors and leave entire communities without care. Healthcare should be something every family can count on, not something you have to fight for.source
Every state is a border state, and the crisis at the southern border reaches South Carolina families directly. Secure the border. Enforce the law. Stop the fentanyl. Darline supports finishing the wall, fully funding border enforcement, and ending catch-and-release.source
Darline will always stand with the men and women in law enforcement who run toward danger. Back the blue. Prosecute the criminals.source
I’ve cared for children who survived shootings and met parents who didn’t get to take their child home from the hospital. Those are stories you don’t forget. We can respect the Second Amendment and still protect our kids.source
The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Constitution, and Darline will defend it without apology. No registries. No confiscation. No apologies. She opposes gun registries, red-flag confiscation schemes, and bans on the firearms law-abiding South Carolinians own.source
As a doctor and a mom, I’ve cared for women in some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I’ve seen what happens when politicians interfere with deeply personal medical decisions, and it’s devastating.source
Darline is pro-life and believes every child is a gift from God. Protecting the unborn. Supporting mothers. Defending families. She supports mothers, adoption, and pregnancy resource centers, and opposes taxpayer funding of abortion.source
Public service is supposed to mean something. But Washington is full of people who forgot who they work for. I don’t take a dime of corporate PAC money. I’m not a career politician. I’m a doctor who believes the government should serve families, not donors.source
South Carolinians deserve elections they can trust. Voter ID. Clean rolls. Transparent counting. Darline supports voter ID, accurate and up-to-date voter rolls, and counting that is transparent and secure. She opposes federal takeovers of state elections and any effort to let noncitizens vote.source
