It was my honor to attend two incredible Veterans Day events in SC-05 this weekend.  On Sunday, I visited Lakewood Baptist Church in Rock Hill, where I had the privilege of recognizing over one hundred Veterans and their family members, and thank them for their sacrifices to ensure our freedoms.

Those hired to treat and care for our veterans should have a proven record of providing quality health care. That is why, last week, I reintroduced the Ensuring Quality Care for Our Veterans Act.

Friends, our nation is heading for financial ruin. I’m so tired of being asked to vote “yes” on new spending bills with no offsets. I’m tired of bloated, wasteful government. I’m tired of agency heads who claim they can't do…
