Friends, we need to have a conversation about how to safely re-open our schools. I know there’s a lot of differing views on this issue, and it’s hard to find any topic right now with a wider range of opinions. But here’s what I see on the federal level and across our congressional district in South Carolina:
First, I agree with our CDC Director, Dr. Robert Redfield, who said… Read more »
Check out the House of Representatives’ schedule for August. “District Work Period” is code for “Not in Washington.”
Many of you probably know that during normal times, August is typically a recess month for Congress. But we are not in normal times! Given all that Congress should be hyper-focused on during the middle of this pandemic, being out of session for the ENTIRE MONTH is… Read more »
The "Cancel Culture" is not a group of people. Instead, it's an unethical state of mind. It's an abusive reaction to someone else's differing opinions.
Freedom of speech is meaningless to the "Cancel Culture." Either align with the new orthodoxy or risk losing your job, a boycott of your business, destruction of your reputation, etc. This article is case in point.

What in the world were they supposed to do?!
With (1) a large group of trespassers descending on private property, (2) police nowhere to be found, and (3) a legitimate fear for their personal safety, again I’ll ask: What were they supposed to do?!
Like South Carolina, the state of Missouri (where this couple lives) also has a Castle Doctrine law. They did NOT have an… Read more »

This amendment was adopted in the House on Tuesday, and would authorize the Department of Energy (“DOE”) to collaborate with the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) on research to improve… Read more »
Three topics on my appearance this morning on Fox News:
First up – liberals introduced a bill in Congress to limit the President's ability to mobilize federal police forces in riot-ravaged cities. 🔷 My response: these are NOT peaceful protests, and the folks in Congress who don't think help is needed to restore law & order are completely tone deaf to what's happening.
Topic #2… Read more »
More good news... About two weeks ago, I shared the national jobs report for June. It was OUTSTANDING, with 4.8 million jobs being restored in June, according to the Labor Department.
That was nationally, which of course begs the question: How are we doing here in South Carolina? Well, we now have that data, and it too is very encouraging.
According to a report released yesterday from… Read more »
New Bill: The Healthy Skies Act
Earlier today, I sponsored a new bill in the House of Representatives. As we work to get our nation back on its feet, it’s clear we have to keep searching for ways to slow the spread of COVID-19. On that front, air travel is very important to our economy, but it obviously poses unique challenges because of the number of people packed into a confined… Read more »
You'd be hard pressed to find even one elected Democrat willing to stand up lately for our police. Or publicly oppose the recent violence around our nation. It's not convenient to their narrative right now. My message to them is simple:
Democrat leadership in the House and Senate receive a protective police detail. If those Democrats in leadership are unwilling to… Read more »
Last month, your federal government spent $864 Billion more than it took in, setting a monthly deficit record. (This is according to the Wall Street Journal and dozens of other publications.)
We are now over $26 TRILLION in debt.
Washington doesn't have a revenue problem; the Treasury takes more than enough of your hard-earned money. Instead, Washington has a spending… Read more »
