Our campaign aims to share Reggie’s vision of North Charleston with as many residents of the city as possible.
In order to accomplish this goal, we must build a strong financial foundation to implement our strategic plan.
Please pitch in any amount you can today to help Reggie become the next Mayor of North Charleston.
Issues
PUBLIC SAFETY
Like most cities in the U.S., North Charleston has experienced a rise in violent crime over the years. Though there have been reductions in some violent crimes, this remains a major issue that must be addressed. Violent crime must be confronted.

Like most cities in the U.S., North Charleston has experienced a rise in violent crime over the years. Though there have been reductions in some violent crimes, this remains a major issue that must be addressed.
Violent crime must be confronted. Violent crime, however, is not the only threat to the residents of North Charleston. As a thriving coastal city, natural disasters and flooding are also a concern. Additionally, the overall health and well-being of residents, particularly those without access to grocery stores and healthy food options, also threaten the public safety of North Charleston’s residents.
Addressing public safety concerns in North Charleston requires a comprehensive, cooperative effort between residents, appropriate agencies, and the city’s administration, led by the Mayor.
Improve Infrastructure
North Charleston is one of the fastest-growing cities in South Carolina and with our coastal access, thriving economy, and proximity to many of the Lowcountry’s best restaurants and nightlife, this influx of new residents will not slow down.
To accommodate this growth, our city needs to improve its infrastructure to address increased traffic demands and the increased needs of a growing population. We must improve our public transportation system in North Charleston to provide a viable, efficient option in conjunction with CARTA and other agencies in the region.
Moreover, as our business community continues to grow and new and innovative small and large businesses launch in North Charleston, we must ensure that we have the resources to support and assist them as they contribute to North Charleston’s economy. Supporting our robust business community is a vital part of the city’s infrastructure that will help ensure that North Charleston continues to lead the way in economic growth.

The proper education of our youth is the building block for the overall enhancement of life for us all.
Many communities in North Charleston have seen incredible enhancements to the quality of life through recreational improvements and projects. For North Charleston to be the world-class city that it is destined to be we must continue the quality-of-life improvement efforts that have already begun until we have reached all neighborhoods and communities of this great city.
Improving the quality of life for all promotes greater community pride and engagement, which can help foster a more cooperative sentiment throughout the entire city. We achieve this by building civic capacity in our young people, improving police-youth relations, and engagement in public safety. We must also improve mental health and trauma assistance programs to effectively serve those in need. Our goal is to reduce poverty and income inequality, as well as homelessness. We want to work with business leaders and potential partners to create more employment opportunities while also supporting educational and enrichment programs aimed at improving job readiness for the people of North Charleston.
We want to enhance the lives of our residents and holistically address the root problems that are at the core of Public Safety concerns. Enhancing the lives of all residents of North Charleston is an important step to maintaining and building a thriving city that continues moving upward in the future.
“Be better today than you were yesterday. Be better tomorrow than you were today.”
I say this because the “WIN. EVERY. DAY.” philosophy is not about winning games or someone else losing. It is about you doing everything you can to be the best person that you can be and being able to know that every night when you lie down, you’ve done your best that day.
Simple. But this may help.
WIN. – Make sure that everything you do, you are doing it to be the best version of YOU. Set goals and work towards those goals. Win by helping others and seeing them succeed.
EVERY – Every minute and every moment of your day, do what you need to do to help you WIN and accomplish whatever goal you may have. Every action should be to help you and others.
DAY – Days become weeks. Weeks become months. Months become years. Strive to establish the WIN. EVERY. portion of this philosophy each DAY and in the end, you will have moved closer to your goals and hopes.
We believe this in our Campaign and we talk about it each day.
I believe that if we as a city start to think in this manner, it will benefit us all. It sounds idealistic, but I have no problem with being idealistic. I think we need idealism in our lives. But truly I believe that through cooperation, collaboration, and consistent effort, we can all truly WIN. EVERY. DAY.
That is our goal.
