Biggest Issue Facing District 1: The primary on March 19.

Larkin Solution: 

Elect Tim Larkin by overwhelming majority. Stop the political infighting. Ensure that our Representative is one we are proud of!

2nd Biggest Issue Facing District 1: Economic Security.

Larkin Solution: 

Address the budget fiasco, push to reduce spending through common sense cuts. No pork. Just the essentials. Listen to the people of the district not the party in DC.

3rd Biggest Issue Facing District 1: Erosion of State's Rights.

Larkin Solution: 

Federal overreach is so common it is often accepted by the public. This must not be allowed. SC should retain responsibility and control of most issues. The Fed works for the state.

Why are you the best person to represent District 1 in Washington, DC?

Many on the GOP ticket have a similar stance on the issues. I stand out for two reasons: I am a Cyber Security Engineer. I have no political career aspirations.  Lawyers are already well represented in Congress. Smart people are not. We should send a smart guy who is willing to say and do the tough things. I am not afraid to anger Washington in order to do the right thing for the people Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, and Dorchester counties.
