Update on Biden’s Unconstitutional Employer Vaccine Mandate

| Posted in Blog

I'm pleased that implementation of President Biden's unconstitutional employer vaccine mandate has been formally SUSPENDED by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).   Remember earlier this month, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cited “grave statutory and constitutional issues” with Biden's actions when the Court issued its emergency stay on his…

My New Bill To Safeguard Religious Liberties of College Students

| Posted in Blog

To date, I’m proud to have co-sponsored EVERY reasonable piece of legislation in the House of Representatives to limit or curb vaccine mandates. Last time I checked that number was over a dozen bills and counting. Obviously, I’m not opposed to Covid vaccines, as evident by the fact I’ve been vaccinated myself. But it’s a personal choice, and I am STAUNCHLY OPPOSED to the government…

Rep. Ralph Norman Introduces Legislation To Safeguard Religious Exemptions at Higher Education Institutions with Covid Vaccine Mandates

On Monday, Congressman Ralph Norman (R-SC-5) introduced H.R. 5967, a bill to ensure higher education institutions provide an opportunity for religious exemption from COVID-19 vaccine requirements.   Specifically, this bill would hold public colleges and universities accountable by:   (1) Assuring reasonable opportunity is provided for an individual to receive…

"Grave Statutory and Constitutional Issues"

| Posted in Blog

Thank goodness that didn't take long! Earlier this Saturday afternoon, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals placed an emergency stay (i.e. hold) on Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate.    Stating the obvious, the Court cited “grave statutory and constitutional issues” with Biden's actions. It's important to understand this is just a temporary block.…

Over $13,000 Per Occurrence?!

| Posted in Blog

So yesterday, Biden released details of his new vaccine mandate. Get this: if you work in a company that employs more than 100 people, he’s literally plans on having government agents inspect your business for compliance. According to Biden’s new rules, starting in January, your company must either have a policy mandating you be vaccinated, or a policy requiring you to be tested weekly…

Add One More No Vote to My Growing Tally

| Posted in Blog

There was a lady sitting towards the back of the room at my town hall a couple months ago in York County. She appeared rather upset over the number of bills I’d voted against in Congress… ever since Democrats took control of the House. In fact, she seemed to know the exact number! You know, as if my purpose in Congress should be to rubber stamp the Democrats’ socialist agenda. Clearly to…

Good Ruling from the SC Supreme Court Yesterday

| Posted in Blog

Good news from the South Carolina Supreme Court yesterday. This is concerning federal unemployment benefits here in South Carolina, which ended up hurting our state and economy. To refresh your memory, during Covid, the federal government was supplementing state unemployment benefits with federal money. So those who were unemployed due to Covid had been receiving not only unemployment…

More on Biden's Vaccine Mandate

| Posted in Blog

More on Biden’s misguided vaccine mandate last week. To recap, the President has directed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to write rules applying to EVERY company with more than 100 employees. These rules would require workers to either be vaccinated or submit to weekly Covid testing. And get this: failure to comply could result in fines up to $14,000 per…

Vaccine Mandate from President Biden

| Posted in Blog

Moments ago, a VACCINE MANDATE was announced by President Biden. (After he previously opposed mandates.) For companies with 100 or more employees, his "plan" would force those employees to either be vaccinated or submit to Covid testing at least once a week. This is NOT within the President's authority, and is just another example of his overreach from the Oval Office. The courts need…

An Exhausting Week, but Well Worth It

Summer 2021 Town Halls

It's been an exhausting week, but well worth it. We just wrapped up a series of in-person town halls all over the district, and I want to thank the hundreds of people who showed up. It was great to see and hear from so many folks! Also a special thanks to Rep. William Timmons who joined me in Spartanburg, the dozens of law enforcement officers who kept us all safe, and all the venues…
