Success Stories

He has prepared our students for tomorrow with SC Wins workforce development programs, as well as advocating for the 10-point grading scale in K-12 education, a statewide e-learning system that proved to be a boon during the COVID-19 pandemic, and more accessible school choice. Brian also advocates for community programs and legacies, like the Mobile Farmer’s Market and Community Gardens program, better broadband statewide, and funding for veterans’ cemeteries.
