Early-Late February: Visit South Carolina and stay there, the campaign is investing heavily in South Carolina, holding town halls all across the state and getting voters out. They are also blasting the airwaves with earlier ads as well as some new ones. The campaign will talk about the culture war to appeal to rural voters and talk about low taxes to appeal to urban and suburban voters. Appear with Nikki Haley and Tim Scott throughout the state and use them as surrogates
I will always stand up to the woke mob. They want to force our kids to be indoctrinated by gender ideology and Marxist ideas. I will never, ever let this happen. We are going to give parents a say here and do away with all this woke bureaucratic nonsense. Do you know what Josh Hawley thinks about this issue? He wants a one-size fits all approach and wants DC bureaucrats to run everything. What would stop someone like AOC from forcing teachers to teach Marxism? I want to empower you, I believe in your rights, I believe in the rights of local and state governments. Top-down bureaucracy is how we got here in the first place, I've been on this fight from the very beginning, I opposed Obama's disastrous Common Core scheme, and I am going to continue this fight until you win, because you ultimately are what matters.
I firmly believe in lowering your taxes. All Joe Biden and the Democrats want to do is take more and more of your money to spend it on fancy, trillion dollar socialist programs, I will end all of that. DC bureaucrats think your tax dollars are for them to spend on fancy vanity projects, but I see it differently, your tax dollars belong to you, and I believe you should get to keep way more of them than you currently do. In Florida, we've had low taxes for years and in fact totally abolished the state income tax. Everyone moves to Florida, and compare that to coastal liberal run states like New York or California where young people can't afford a home. We can do so much better, but we need someone who can stand up to the DC bureaucracy, and that person is me.

Nikki: I care a lot about our state, and we need someone who will champion our SC values
