Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate emphasizes cutting wasteful government spending and frames himself as a "common sense Republican" focused on fiscal restraint; his campaign materials prioritize reducing waste rather than proposing explicit tax increases. Public reporting of his campaign launch repeats those priorities (term limits, cutting wasteful spending, and practical conservative solutions).
Healthcare
Supports increased investment in mental health care and insurance reform to ensure treatment is covered; opposes cuts that hurt vulnerable populations and calls for accountability to protect funding. Emphasizes expanding access through targeted government programs and stronger oversight of insurers rather than privatization or repeal of existing programs.

Immigration & Border
The candidate lists "fair immigration policies" and "immigration reform" among his priorities but provides only broad, general language on the campaign website without concrete policy details. Public reporting from local media notes his campaign kickoff but does not provide specific immigration or border policy proposals.
Latest News
David Atchley is in the news because South Carolina advanced a Trump-backed congressional redistricting plan that could reshape the districts where he is running. The map would push the state toward a 7-0 Republican delegation and split parts of Spartanburg County, which could affect his campaign. The proposal is now before the state Senate, with concerns raised about election costs, voter confusion, and the timing before the June 9 primaries.
