Fighter. Advocate.

Frankland Watts is a proud native of the Upstate and a resident of Wellford, South Carolina. Frankland was raised in a middle-class family shaped by service and education. His father was a healthcare worker and retired Evangelical pastor, and his mother, a first-generation university graduate, instilled in him the importance of compassion, love, and opportunity. Frankland’s father passed when he was 2 years old. Growing up with a widowed mother helped shape his commitment to supporting single-parent households and expanding access to affordable healthcare.

From a young age, Frankland knew he wanted to make a change in the world and dedicate his life to acts of public service and advocacy. He witnessed the corruption that spilled from Washington, DC and Columbia, SC. Hate. Division. Elitism. Inequality. and Exploitation.
