Friends,

I hope you and your family are well! I wanted to provide you with a few updates regarding what’s going on –

Giving Thanks

For the past two weeks on Capitol Hill, we welcomed newly elected Congressmen and Congresswomen from around the country for New Member Orientation, and there is an excitement amongst my Republican colleagues to follow through with the America First agenda.

"In everything, give thanks..."

As we look ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday, I'm grateful for the opportunity you all have given me over the last 14 years to fight for Conservative values to make the future better for our children as I represented South Carolina's Third District.

Legacy Videos

To try to encapsulate my 14 years in Washington, D.C., representing South Carolina’s Third District, my team put together a series of interviews highlighting key moments and memories of my time in office.

Episode 5 - You never know who you are going to meet on Capitol Hill and who will impact your life the most.

Episode 6 - I was on the assassin's list, but God spared my life that day.

Episode 7 - Working with President Trump and Conservatives to repeal Obamacare was a monumental effort.

Episode 8 - I brought a lot of experience to the Energy and Commerce Committee and was able to work with leadership to become Chair of the Energy, Climate and Grid Security Subcommittee.
