Supporting small businesses is crucial, as they drive local economies, shape community character, create jobs, and foster innovation. Small businesses are truly the backbone of the national economic structure, and their success is essential for thriving communities.

I will advocate for reforming South Carolina's liquor liability insurance law to protect small businesses. Currently, a 2017 law requires establishments serving alcohol to purchase at least $1 million in liability insurance. The rising costs of this insurance have forced several Upstate businesses to close, threatening the local economy.

I am committed to fighting for reduced insurance premiums, ensuring that local small businesses can thrive and continue to contribute to the economic vitality of our community. By supporting initiatives that prioritize the needs of small businesses, she aims to create a more sustainable and prosperous environment for all residents of South Carolina.
