TRACY'S STAND
TRACYROBINS ON THE ISSUES
Public School Reform
As a former SC public school teacher, Tracy Robins is committed to overhauling our system
with extensive reforms to our current curriculum which include special needs programs, student behavior, and bringing new leadership training and accountability. Tracy will focus on skills and trade courses for high school students where students can actively participate in internships to prepare them for the workforce and good paying jobs upon high school graduation. Tracy also believes students need to expand outdoor activity with time away from their computer screens. She will also find ways to incentivize bringing healthy, locally sourced foods into our schools.
In light of our unfortunate mass shooting climate, my priority will always be the safety of all children and teachers. I will continue my work to advocate for all SC classrooms to be fitted with bullet proof doors. Politicians purchase these doors for their safety in government buildings, but neglect to secure our own children.
Fiscal Responsibility and Eliminate State Income Tax
It will take fiscal discipline to achieve meaningful tax relief. Tracy Robins will fight for a reduction and eventual elimination of the SC income tax in ways that force accountability on state spending. Tracy believes it's time to end the bloat and inefficiencies in the state government bureaucracy with Zero-Based budgeting and other accountability measures. A competitive, simple taxation system will produce both economic growth and huge savings for hardworking taxpayers.
Small Business
Tracy Robins will always advocate for Main Street over Wall Street, and will work to slash
regulations that strangle growth. Tracy will work to carry the federal 20% qualified
business income deduction to our state. She will advocate for slashing regulations that inhibit growth and expansion, so business owners aren’t faced with unnecessary costs and delays. Tracy will also push for tax breaks for local restaurants that use alternative healthy oils instead of seed oils and that also use SC produce and local farm raised meat.
Public Safety
Unlike our current House 75 incumbent, Tracy Robins has always backed our men and women in law enforcement. Tracy will push for pay increases and statewide policies that ensure our officers are respected within their communities and have the tools and training they need. We must value our law enforcement in order to recruit our young men and women into this important profession.
Infrastructure and Roads
So far in this campaign, Tracy Robins has walked every road in this district twice. Tracy has personally witnessed the need for basic road repair and repavement. As your representative, she will be a strong, vocal advocate at the SCDOT to ensure this district, which is the heart of the Capital City, gets the attention that it so desperately needs and deserves.
Military
Our state has a significant military presence, including Fort Jackson right here in District 75. Military members and their families bring billions of dollars each year to our state and local economies. They shop in our small businesses, and their children attend our schools. As an active participant in the Columbia Chamber’s Military Outreach Program, Tracy will always advocate for policies that help our current military
members, as well as our veterans.
Conservation of Lands and Wildlife
Growing up in the Lowcountry of SC, Tracy Robins knows that fishing and hunting is deeply rooted as part of the culture. As a member of the South Carolina Waterfowl Association - Columbia Chapter, Tracy will advocate for responsible growth and the protection of our treasured land and native wildlife for future generations.
City of Columbia Animal Shelter & Services
Tracy Robins will advocate on the state level to revitalize, expand, and fully fund animal shelters throughout South Carolina, especially rural shelters that lack the basic resources to help their communities. As an avid animal lover, Tracy will work to revitalize and expand the Columbia Animal Shelter, advocate for laws that restrict breeding to ensure that all animals have a home, and increased penalties for animal abuse.
