After a busy few months passing the One Big Beautiful Bill & cutting out waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington’s budget, I’m headed back to the District. See you soon, South Carolina! Read more »

America deserves a bold, honest energy strategy. Yesterday, President Trump signed an Executive Order titled “Ending Market‑Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign‑Controlled Energy Sources”—a pledge he had made, and one he kept.
