Good afternoon and happy holidays from team SC-01!
After Congress failed to come to an agreement last week on the spending package, they brought us back to Washington this week for another vote series…
This Monday was a busy day for our office in DC - we MOVED! Our new office location is 1728 Longworth House Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515 - and our phone number stays the same. We look forward to bringing many of our Lowcountry constituents to our new office! Remember - call us to book a tour of the U.S. Capitol Building!
Soon our West Ashley office will be relocating to Mount Pleasant - our phone number is also staying the same. Our new office location is 652 Coleman Blvd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464
Tuesday we were given the 4,155-page Omnibus spending bill - the same week just days before we are forced to vote on the package. How are we supposed to read a 4,155 page spending bill, which will add $1.7T to our national debt, within days? It’s impossible.
Wednesday was a big win - our Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act with Rep. Ro Khanna was signed into law by President Biden. To strengthen our cybersecurity is to strengthen our national security.
Last week, we sent a bipartisan letter with Rep. Mikie Sherrill to Congressional leadership to bring the Equal Pay for Team USA to the House Floor for a vote after passing the Senate. Late Wednesday it passed and we leveled the playing field!
Wednesday was also the start of the Winter Season. Our weather here in the Lowcountry is expected to be the coldest in years - make sure to bundle up. Goose Creek is offering warming shelters starting today through Sunday. Look here for more information.
On Friday, we voted NO on the $1.7T Omnibus spending bill. Washington has a spending problem, and its budget is too big this Christmas. To read more about why we voted NO, look here.
Happy Holidays to our Lowcountry constituents! Merry Christmas - He is BORN!
