Legislative Service
John has represented House District 13 in the South Carolina State House since 2016, now serving his fifth term. He represents the communities of Greenwood and Laurens Counties.
When John arrived in Columbia, there was no organized voice for pro-family, pro-life values in the State House. So he built one. He founded the SC Family Caucus — a coalition of conservative legislators dedicated to protecting life, defending religious liberty, and promoting family values. The caucus has become one of the most influential voting blocs in the legislature, and its work has produced landmark legislation including the Heartbeat Bill and the Help Not Harm Act.
John also serves as Chairman of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers for South Carolina, working with like-minded legislators across the country to advance faith-based public policy.

John is an Elder at Calvary Chapel Greenwood, where he and Dana are active members. His faith informs his public service and his commitment to the values that matter most to the people of District 13.
John is deeply embedded in the Greenwood community through both leadership and service:
- •Founding Member, Greater Greenwood United Ministries
- •Board Member, CrossRoads Women's Center
- •Member, Greenwood Chamber of Commerce
- •Member, Masonic Lodge
He believes that elected officials have an obligation to serve with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to the principles that made America great.
