It’s an incredible honor to have been chosen again to represent South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. My promise is to continue fighting for our Constitutional rights, for freedom and liberty, for fiscal responsibility, and for limited government. When your elected leaders are doing their job well, these are the cornerstones that guide their decisions. With ... Read more »

On Friday, U.S Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-05) introduced the Home Educators are Teachers Act of 2020. This legislation will help families who educate their children at home by extending to them the same tax deductions to which eligible K-12 teachers are entitled.

What happened yesterday is censorship so enormous it probably makes the Chinese government envious. Yesterday, a BOMBSHELL report was published by the New York Post which alleges Hunter Biden essentially sold access to his father’s influence. His father, who was Vice President at the time and currently the Democrat candidate for President, is Joe Biden. We know Hunter was a paid board member for ... Read more »
If you drove over some nails and popped a tire, you probably wouldn’t roll into a service garage and shell out thousands of dollars on unrelated, unnecessary repairs. Certainly not if you were already up to your eyeballs in debt. This is a pretty good analogy of where we are right now with additional COVID relief. I am very disappointed that Congress is at an impasse, but there are some important... Read more »
She literally sat down this morning with nothing in front of her except a blank piece of paper. But she doesn't even need it. Meanwhile, almost half of the U.S. Senators who will ultimately question her today and tomorrow are equipped with BINDERS of opposition research and (what could only be described as) staff-written “gotcha” questions. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is handling this confirmation he... Read more »

On Friday, Rep. Ralph Norman issued the following statement after voting against H. Res. 1154: "This resolution was yet another worthless messaging bill that does absolutely nothing to address the violence taking place in cities throughout our nation. For Congress to pass a resolution condemning QAnon by name, but make no such mention of other violent organizations, is shameful. "I condemn in the ... Read more »
In response to a bi-partisan charge led by Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) is now taking action to help secure our nation’s colleges and universities from foreign threats. In February 2020, Rep. Norman and Rep. Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) led 51 members of Congress in a letter to DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf expressing concern over the closure of the Homeland... Read more »
By every measure of both competence and experience, Amy Coney Barrett appears to be a highly qualified nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. Make no mistake though: the opposition talking points have already been written and the marching orders are currently being handed out. Whether it’s the Democrat Senators, their staff or the left-wing of the media, we’re about to see liberals do everything poss... Read more »
