People over Special Interests: Too often politicians get to Columbia and forget about the people who elected them and become too influenced by special interest groups and lobbyists.  As our new voice, Anne will put us first and say "no" to the special interest lobbyists.

Stop the Partisan Bickering: It's time for the partisan bickering in Columbia to stop. Anne will work with members of both parties to get the results we need. Anne won't ask whether an idea is Democratic or Republican - She'll just ask if it's a good idea for the people of James Island and Folly Beach.

Education: As a mother of two young children, Matthew and Adrianne, Anne knows how important our public schools are. That's why Anne will make sure that we get our fair share in education funding. Too often other communities in the state receive more than their fair share at the expense of our schools. In Anne, we will finally have an advocate for our schools and our children.

Growth: There is no question that we live in a growing community. That's why Anne will work to ensure that growth will have minimum negative impacts on those of us who already live here. When developers push for reckless sprawl and new subdivisions, Anne will be speaking up for us.

Traffic: As we all know, traffic on James Island has become a serious problem. Anne will work tirelessly with state and local leaders to reduce the traffic gridlock. Families on James Island and Folly Beach shouldn't have to worry about being late for work or school because of unpredictable traffic bottlenecks.

Resources: We live in a truly beautiful and unique area. Anne is committed to helping keep it that way by enforcing common-sense environmental rules and conserving our natural resources.
