A normal out-of-stock rate should be around 10%, according to the Wall Street Journal. I’ve personally heard from many parents who are terrified, and who are desperately scrambling to find formula for their… Read more »

Many parents of formula-fed infants are desperately scrambling to find these products, and fearful for their child’s wellbeing. I believe this should have never happened. In a separate post, I cover some of the reasons behind the shortage and what I’m working on in Congress to help resolve this crisis.… Read more »

Great work by the South Carolina state legislature to get an election bill passed earlier this week.

Here are some notable changes for our upcoming elections: ✔️ NEW THIS YEAR: South Carolina will now have two (2) weeks of in-person early voting. You don’t need any special reason to… Read more »

We received so many fantastic submissions from schools across our district for the 2022 Congressional Art Competition that this year was especially difficult to narrow down for our judges!

As loudly as I can say this: THANK GOD for our law enforcement officers. It’s National Police Week. I don’t mean to sound like a broken record when it comes to supporting law enforcement, but I think we’re living in odd times right now: Across the nation, too many categories of violent crime are on the rise. Too many parents are not raising their children correctly. Too many… Read more »

We’re supposed to vote shortly on $40 billion in financial assistance for Ukraine. $40 billion! This is a STAGGERING amount of money, even for our federal government. It’s more than the ~combined~ budgets of the Labor Department, EPA, and Commerce Department. In fact, $40 billion is more than what we appropriate to the Justice Department each year. So obviously I did a double-take with… Read more »

NEW INDY Update for those living in Lancaster, York, and Chester counties: Yesterday, I sent a letter to the EPA Administrator requesting the agency allocate additional personnel to help review the hundreds of public comments received in response to the proposed consent decree between the EPA and New Indy Containerboard. I realize this consent decree is one of many steps in an effort… Read more »

We’re really seeing the Left’s unhinged vitriol on display over the Supreme Court and Roe v. Wade. They’re protesting in front of the homes of several Supreme Court justices. There was a Molotov cocktail thrown into the office of a pro-life organization. Some even held rallies on Mother’s Day, which is actually “on brand” for many of these groups. I wonder if these people actually… Read more »
