The fundamental core of Sean’s platform resides in the principles and spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution; that a government which governs least governs best. Curbing Government growth & spending, Taxes & economic development, Military/Veteran’s affairs, and Education are his key items of interest.
Sean has been a boots-on-the-ground public servant since graduating from The Citadel in 1990. He was a former police supervisor for the City of Charleston, and a US Air Force Medical Service Military Officer/Veteran of the Global War on Terrorism. Sean earned his MBA from The Citadel in 1998 and earned his certification as a Healthcare Administrator from the American Academy of Medical Administrators in 2007. He currently is a military instructor at The Citadel where he teaches the South Carolina Corps of Cadets leadership, ethics, and discipline.
LIMITED GOVERNMENT: Sean is a true Jeffersonian Republican. Government should stay out of the way in order to create jobs and allow each citizen the freedom to choose their own destiny. State sovereignty is crucial to limiting Washington, D.C. as well.
TAXES & ECONOMY: Life, liberty, and property were the original words Jefferson put in the Declaration of Independence. Money is property--your property--you earned it. Eliminate the state income tax, corporate tax (because it is just passed-on to you), and reduce the manufacturing tax rate. Replace those with a consumption based Fair-Tax. It also means reducing the administrative burden on small business owners who are drowning in government paperwork and regulations. The markets have an uncanny ability to regulate businesses.
MILITARY & VETERAN’S AFFAIRS: Means taking care of our veterans and disabled veterans as they deserve to be by providing them a better system of state benefits & business incentives. It also means keeping and bringing more military resources (e.g. AFRICOM [African Command]) to the State.
EDUCATION: Means allowing communities to decide what system of education works best for them; the government should promote innovation and creativity through charter and other non-conventional schooling, not hinder it.
