Representative Ryan McCabe of South Carolina's House District 96 emphasizes several key platform points:

Infrastructure Investment: McCabe advocates for increased funding to repair and replace aging roads and bridges, particularly in rural areas where many bridges have exceeded their useful lives. He emphasizes the need for a groundwater replenishment plan to address the rapidly diminishing water table, highlighting the importance of proactive measures to prevent future water shortages.

Fiscal Responsibility: He supports eliminating earmarks and corporate handouts, redirecting those funds to essential services. McCabe has consistently voted against state budgets laden with pet projects, arguing for more transparent and responsible spending.

Government Transparency: McCabe opposes the earmark process, which he believes leads to unnecessary spending on legislators' pet projects. He advocates for a clean budget to ensure taxpayer money is allocated appropriately.

Conservative Values: As a founding member of South Carolina’s Freedom Caucus, McCabe upholds conservative principles, including pro-life stances, Second Amendment rights, limited government intervention, opposition to government medical mandates, and support for term limits.

Opposition to Corporate Welfare: He is against providing substantial incentive packages to wealthy corporations, believing that government should not be in the business of handing out corporate welfare.

Education Reform: McCabe supports focusing on the fundamentals of education and prohibiting political and sexual indoctrination in schools, aiming to remove unnecessary distractions and unite students, parents, and teachers.

These positions reflect McCabe's commitment to conservative values, fiscal responsibility, and addressing critical infrastructure and resource management issues in South Carolina.
