Public School Reform 

As a former SC public school teacher, I am 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.

​

I 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. I also believe students need to expand outdoor activity with time away from their computer screens. I 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 bulletproof doors. Politicians purchase these doors for their safety in government buildings but neglect to secure our own children.

​

​​​Tax Reform

I support continuing the revenue-triggered income tax reductions enacted in Act 110. This approach allows South Carolina to continue lowering income taxes while protecting our existing commitments to schools, roads, healthcare, and other essential services.

​

I will advocate for 100% property tax relief for South Carolina residents who own their own home and have been residents of our state for 20+ years. Requiring 20+ years of residency is intended to ensure this relief rewards longtime South Carolinians who have lived here, raised families here, worked here, and contributed for years to our economy and communities.

​

I also support using revenue growth to provide additional property tax relief. When recurring General Fund revenue exceeds a specified benchmark, I would advocate for dedicating a portion of that excess to a statewide owner-occupied property tax rebate.​

​

I believe meaningful tax reform should lower the burden on South Carolina families, homeowners, and small businesses while protecting our state's essential financial obligations.

 

Families in District 75

I am your Pro-Family candidate! Young families across our district struggle with finding adequate and affordable childcare. Families of young college students also struggle with mounting student loans.

Until our state income tax is completely eliminated, I will fight for tax credits and tax deductions that allow families to receive refundable tax credits for families with children under 5 years old, and for full tax deductions for student loan interest.​

​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​Small Business

I will always advocate for Main Street over Wall Street. I will advocate for slashing regulations that inhibit growth and expansion, so business owners aren't faced with unnecessary costs and delays.

 

I pledge to hold annual town hall meetings with local business owners to hear directly about the issues they are facing and discuss how I can address those challenges at the State House.

 

I 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. I support the current REINS Act that reduces outdated and unnecessary regulations that hinder small business growth.

​​​​

​Public Safety

Unlike our current House 75 incumbent, I have always backed our men and women in law enforcement. I 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. I will push for criminal justice course requirements in our public high schools.

​​

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, I know that fishing and hunting are deeply rooted as part of our culture. As a member of the South Carolina Waterfowl Association – Columbia Chapter, I will advocate for responsible growth and protection of our treasured land and native wildlife—all to ensure the state's legacy of our outdoor wildlife heritage. I will also advocate for the state to invest in watershed restoration and wetland protection.

​

City of Columbia Animal Shelter & Services

I 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, I 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 increase penalties for animal abuse.
