Every sunny day, parts of Charleston flood. Every summer, the drive from James Island or Mount Pleasant onto the Peninsula gets a little longer. Every year, another family gets priced out of the neighborhood they grew up in, and another surprise medical bill lands on the kitchen table, crushing a family who just wanted to see someone they love get better. Meanwhile, Columbia hands blank checks to giant corporations and utility monopolies, and sends Lowcountry families the bill.
I'm KJ Atwood. My wife Caitlyn and I run a small business here in Charleston. We're raising our daughter here. And I've spent my career in public health and technology, helping organizations solve problems instead of just talking about them. I'm running for South Carolina House District 110 because our community deserves a representative who knows what it's like to make payroll, to lose family time to a commute that keeps getting longer, and to brace for the next rate hike our elected officials wave through. We need representatives who go to Columbia and fight for real, specific fixes, not legacy politicians feeding us legacy talking points.
Here's what I'll fight for in the State House: safe roads and dry streets, relief from the cost-of-living crisis, an end to our politician’s corruption and secrecy, a protected coast, technology that serves our communities instead of exploiting them, and schools and families that get real support. More details below.
