1/ SC ranks 38th in child & family well-being. The next governor with the right agenda could change that. Mobile crisis. Medicaid rates. Real behavioral health investment. All in. For everyone. #SCGov #SouthCarolina

2/ How do we measure child well-being? 16 indicators — poverty, reading levels, health insurance, teen births, family stability. Behavioral health touches EVERY single one. Fix the system, you move the needle across the board. That's the multiplier effect.

3/ 68% of SC 4th graders can't read proficiently. 19% of kids live in poverty. Uninsured children are going UP not down. These aren't separate problems they're symptoms of the same broken system. A governor who fixes behavioral health fixes all of it. 38th to 25th. Let's go.

If you ever wanna see an endless stream of South Carolina governor ads and attacks on their competitors just put on Dog TV on YouTube. Apparently every Boykin Spaniel and Labrador retriever in the state is undecided.

I wouldn’t hire them. Did anyone look at this Ai photo before letting this go out the door?

Which people do you want leading South Carolina? The ones arguing politics or the ones in shelters at 2am helping oxygen dependent families during Hurricane Helene, reopening child care after COVID, and helping feed families when people were struggling? I know my answer.

We can keep hoping things get easier for families, but hope alone is not a plan. Families need leaders willing to lower all types of costs, strengthen schools, more affordable housing, improve child care, and build systems that actually work for the people depending on them.

Love how SC business leaders and politicians behind the scenes are like, “You all are doing great work, we love this direction,” then in public it suddenly becomes, “The system is broken. They need reform. They’re failing families.”
Amazing what happens when votes get involved.

Cut caseloads in half, increased kinship, reduced congregate care 80% to 12%, cut foster care in half, closed a $75M deficit, ended charging parents for services & child support in closed cases, #2 in permanency, turnover under 10%, record adoptions, millions more for prevention.

Fewer people on SNAP≠fewer people hungry. Something to ponder.
4.8% decline or 25,000 fewer SC’s on SNAP in 4 months.

Grateful to see the continued momentum behind @ACFHHS A Home for Every Child - and to have contributed to the recent dialogue alongside partners across the field discussing this work.
Appreciative to be in the dialogue. We had 700 signed up to participate across the country.

I noticed the last three failed to congratulate the South Carolina Woman’s basketball team for making to the finals. No effort at all. Maybe they hate sports. Can we stop pretending they are even in the race.

Geno complaining about his bigs getting pushed around… meanwhile they’re being guarded by 5’9 guards. That’s on him. He completely lost it. Wrong on Jersey, wrong on handshake, forgot basketball should be physical, forgot to coach tonight.

It’s relay interesting to 👀 the price fluctuations in the prediction markets for Gov. of SC. Not a lot of folks are betting this market yet so there is low liquidity meaning a few larger bets can move the market. Kimbrell got a few big bets before debate but it back to reality.

Despite not being in the debate LT. Gov is still in the lead. Mace has jumped but same situation in that she has probably had a folks place money on her. I don’t think it increased due to her performance.
