Mike Jones' Platform
Improve Infrastructure
Mike Jones will prioritize infrastructure improvements that enhance road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and support economic development, ensuring that South Carolina communities are well-connected and businesses can thrive.
Quality, Safe & Healthy Education
Obtaining a quality education in a safe and healthy environment is crucial for our children so they can reach their full unique potential as adults. The one-size-fits-all approach to education does not work for some children anymore. Expanding school choice and giving parents rights to choose educational options for their children will help to ensure a quality education for every student. It is important that we support our public schools, charter, private and homeschool programs.
The SC Constitution currently states the SC legislature is the primary stakeholder of education. This needs to be changed to, the parents are the primary stakeholders of their children's education. Parents should have the freedom to make informed decisions about their children's education and upbringing.
Smaller Government and Less Taxes
Smaller government and increased individual freedoms is what fuels and strengthens our local economy! Our federal and state governments bureaucracy has become too large and
powerful. Elected officials should report to their constituents and not the bureaucracy. Mike Jones supports legislation that decreases the tax burdens for individuals and families. Our founding fathers built America with the intent of a smaller government to make sure there is no threat to the freedom of ordinary people.
Supports Small Businesses
As a small business owner himself, Mike Jones understands the challenges entrepreneurs face and will fight to reduce regulations and create a business-friendly environment.
Judicial Reform
It is critical to have a fair and efficient legal system. Mike Jones is committed to implementing reforms that ensure equal access to justice, promote transparency, and restore public trust in our courts. Catch and release of habitual offenders must cease. He supports measures like S1046 in its original form to address systemic issues such as judicial bias. Law and order are crucial for a just society.
Election Integrity
We must pass laws to ensure anyone registered to vote in South Carolina is a citizen of the United States legally. We need to ensure there are strict standards for absentee ballots.
Agriculture and Rural South Carolina
Agriculture plays a vital role in South Carolina’s economy and culture. Mike Jones is committed to prioritizing initiatives to support farmers, and our farmland. He will also promote agricultural innovation and revitalize rural communities. We must ensure that our farmland is not being purchased by foreign entities that wish to do us harm. Mike Jones also recognizes the importance of bringing modern amenities like broadband internet to rural communities. He understands that access to high-speed internet is essential and will open doors for educational resources, healthcare, and e-commerce, empowering residents and businesses to thrive in the digital age. When Mike Jones is in office rural communities will have a strong voice at the Statehouse.
Illegal Immigration
Mike Jones has no issue with legal immigration, but he has major concerns with illegal immigration. Mike Jones is committed to addressing the multifaceted challenges of illegal immigration including the documented cases of rape, sex trafficking, and drug smuggling, especially fentanyl with a comprehensive approach that prioritizes both security and compassion due to this invasion. Our open southern border is a national security concern. All our states are becoming border states with an influx of illegal immigrants. Due to his military service in the National Guard, and his time working at the border, Mike Jones has first-hand experience of what is happening on the border. This gives him the advantage of truly understanding the problems our border security, law enforcement, and the military are encountering.
Law & Order
Supports Law Enforcement and First Responders
It is important to maintain strong quality law enforcement and first responders here in South Carolina. It is essential they have the tools, resources and funding to keep our families and communities safe. Growing crime in some areas of our district has increased and it is crucial we advocate for programs that are designed to address crime issues and promote community interaction.
2nd Amendment
As a Military Veteran, Federal Firearms Dealer, National Firearms Act SOT Dealer, CWP holder, CWP instructor, and gun store owner Mike Jones has always and will always do everything he can to defend the 2ND Amendment!
Supporting Our Military & Veterans
It is crucial, especially in times of turmoil around the world, that we maintain a strong military. Our district has two major military facilities, Shaw Air Force Base and Fort Jackson. It is important that our next Senator of District 35 is one who understands the needs of our service men and women, their families and our veterans. With our near-peer and peer-to-peer adversaries making significant advances in modern technology and being emboldened to threaten our way of life we need a representative that will do everything necessary to support our military and way of our freedoms. Together, we can stand by our service members who protect us.
Pro Life
All life is a gift from God.
