Why Michael

One Vote. A Lot of Phone Numbers.

A county councilman is one vote out of nine. What decides whether District 7 actually gets heard is who picks up the phone. Michael has spent his life building those relationships: town councils, fire departments, business owners, and the neighbors in Summerville and Dorchester County where District 7’s traffic actually goes.

A washed-out road doesn’t ask who you voted for.

Roads, fire trucks, drainage, ambulances. County council isn’t Washington, and the work doesn’t split along party lines. Michael will work with anyone who wants to get District 7 a better deal.
