On Education: School money & school control should be local

Education is local, but the state and federal government both hold a lot of the money. Let's get it to the kids. We need to make K-12 decisions in our school districts, not in Washington or Columbia. Let the teachers teach and let the principals lead. It makes sense, right? Let them do what they do best and support them every way we can.

On Jobs: Fought to keep unions out of SC

Catherine led the labor department when Boeing was charged by the Obama administration for taking union jobs to South Carolina. Catherine made it clear that South Carolina jobs were going to stay in South Carolina. As a result, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) charged Catherine individually and the AFL-CIO sued her in federal court for her commitment to keep South Carolina jobs here. A fight she swiftly won. . . and the jobs have grown union free.

Catherine Templeton is a fiscal conservative. She believes in less taxes, less government, and more freedom for South Carolina taxpayers. In order to make South Carolina the best place to live, work and raise a family--we need to keep taxes low. When taxes are low--businesses and families thrive!

On Technology: Infrastructure repair a top priority

It's time we fixed South Carolina's roads. For companies looking to expand or relocate to South Carolina, and families planning vacations, the condition of our roads is not just a budget item. It can be a reason to stay away. Templeton's top priority will be creating the infrastructure that propels South Carolina jobs. That means fixing pot holes, repaving highways, replacing bridges and growing our ports.
