AFP-South Carolina

South Carolina is failing to lead where it counts – We need to start building a freer, better Palmetto State for all South Carolinians. AFP-SC will identify, mobilize, and train more grassroots activists while also working with policy champions and coalition partners in the Statehouse to move critical legislation across the finish line.

About Us

AFP-South Carolina’s core mission is to establish South Carolina as the freest state in the south, where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and prosper. AFP-SC leverages its grassroots capability to advance freedom and prosperity, while removing government barriers standing in the way.

Priorities

Eliminating the Income Tax

The core beneficial role of state government is to protect the foundational rights of people to control their own destiny. Eliminating the state income tax does that by empowering individuals and businesses with more financial freedom. This will drive economic growth by attracting businesses and residents, creating a more prosperous economy that benefits all South Carolinians. A government that prioritizes freedom and economic opportunity is one that sets the stage for long-term success and prosperity for everyone in the state. We can start by flattening the tax code and then work towards the full elimination of the state income tax within 10 years.

Expand Education Choice

Parents are best suited to drive their children’s education. Instead of limiting families to a one-size-fits-all approach, we should expand their available choices so they can customize their student’s educational options in ways that best suit their unique needs. By empowering parents with more options, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed in an environment tailored to their strengths and interests, fostering a brighter future for the next generation.

Reform government

We envision a state where the government is limited, and the rights of individuals are front and center. Getting government out of the way increases competition and reduces cost burdens put on consumers. Bureaucratic boards and rules are unaccountable to citizens and often lead to unnecessary licensure requirements that result in increased costs for consumers and prevent individuals from being able to self-actualize in their careers. We’ll work hard to roll back these harmful regulations and allow the free market to drive down prices and grow jobs and opportunity within our communities.

Health Care

The health care system that we currently have is expensive, complicated, and puts too many barriers between patients and their doctors. A Personal Option plan will empower patients, remove red tape, hold hospitals accountable and ensure that South Carolinians have access to doctors they know at prices they can afford.
