Safeguarding American Elections

   I am grateful that last month President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to strengthen voter citizenship verification and assure that only American citizens be allowed to vote on election day.

     House Republicans supported this action a few weeks ago by passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act). This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and demands that states remove non-citizens from voter rolls.

     It is crucial for democracy that Americans trust voting results. Under the leadership of President Trump, House Republicans will restore faith in elections.

President Trump's Responsible Budget

     Due to the damaging policies of the Biden-Harris administration, America experienced wasteful spending, which has harmed families and destroyed jobs.

     Recently, House Republicans passed a budget framework for 2026 which will pave the way for the passage of a single, comprehensive bill and deliver on the agenda of President Donald Trump.

     Among other actions, the legislation provides for Congress to secure the border, unleash American energy, prevent the largest tax hike in history, create jobs, and bring common sense back to government.

     Unnecessary, reckless government spending will be eliminated, putting the American people first.

Stay in Touch

         Much remains to be done, but I am grateful to represent the people of South Carolina’s Second District and will continue to work hard to keep us all safe, promote jobs, and help make our lives and communities stronger.
