Meet Phillip

I am a dedicated public servant, a small business owner, and a passionate advocate for the people of Orangeburg, Calhoun, and Lexington Counties. I was born to two small business owners who instilled in me the value of hard work, building community, and always standing up for others. These are the guiding principles of my life and will stay with me as I represent the people of District 93 in the South Carolina Statehouse.

Born and raised in Orangeburg, District 93 is my home and where my roots are. I understand the importance of community and the challenges that face us. With my proven track record of working collaboratively to find practical solutions, I’m ready to fight for my family and yours in Columbia.

I advocated successfully to end school lunch debt collections for South Carolina students. I fought for a healthier South Carolina through my work with Wholespire, working to create community gardens and food distribution sites in food deserts across District 93. I’ve traveled to DC to ask our state’s Congressional delegation to invest in kids by expanding SNAP benefits in the Farm Bill, increase funding for cancer research, and protect our rural communities. I testified before numerous State Senate and House Committees to improve outcomes in maternal health, child safety, and protecting reproductive rights. I am a person of action. And I will continue this work to improve our state with your support representing District 93.

A lifelong Democrat, I worked on my first campaign when I was in high school. Since then, I have worked around the state and country to elect Democrats to office and advocate for policy changes. In fact, I was recently awarded the Young Democrats of South Carolina President’s Award for Advocacy. I attended The Citadel where I majored in Political Science.

My experience in public service spans over a decade, serving in various leadership roles. I’ve worked to bring in millions of dollars to District 93 to increase access to healthcare, end hunger, and increase educational opportunities. I have spent the last 10 years of my career advocating for positive and equitable policy changes at the statehouse. My extensive knowledge of policy, government, and the legislative process make me well-equipped to tackle the complex issues that our state faces today.

I am ready to continue working for District 93 at the SC State House!
