Because of his legacy, this day is recognized as one of two designated National Day of Service holidays during the year. Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Read more »

It is a new day for America, and it starts now!  I am standing by and standing ready to work with the Trump administration to deliver a strong, conservative agenda for the American people so we can get this country back on track. That includes saving us from the fiscal cliff we currently stand at, securing our borders, and bringing independence to the U.S. once again!! Read more »

Today, the House passed the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, which I am gladly a cosponsor of. If this bill gets signed into law, it will protect American citizens, specifically women and children, against the very-real-threat posed by violent illegal immigrants. Specifically, this legislation creates grounds for inadmissibility and removability for illegal immigrants… Read more »

As we come to the end of the 118th Congress, I have been reflecting on the work that my office has done around SC-05 and up in Washington, DC.

I am looking forward to see what we can get done in 2025! Read more »

Friends, there something to be said about a person's life when "President of the United States" could easily be a scant mention in his obituary.

What an incredible life of service, which was part of his Christian calling: President Carter was a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, and submariner in both the Atlantic… Read more »

Christmas is a time of deep gratitude and joy, a moment to celebrate the most precious gift of all—the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It reminds us of God’s immense love for the world, revealed through the humble birth of His Son in a manger. This sacred moment marks when God became human, sent to bring hope, salvation, and reconciliation to all. The Christmas season fills the heart… Read more »

I am proud that the Senate companion to my bill, the No Corruption Act, passed out of the House of Representatives yesterday.  Those who serve in Congress should be held to the highest of standards in order to instill trust and confidence in our government. Anyone who does not measure up should NOT receive a taxpayer funded pension—which for some Members can surpass $70,000… Read more »

I am sad to hear the news of John Spratt’s passing. He was a man who dedicated his life to public service and he set the GOLD STANDARD for constituent service. He was the epitome of a southern gentleman. My prayers are with his family. Read more »
