Infrastructure Matters More Now Than Ever In light of the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, we voiced strong criticism towards the Biden administration for neglecting to ensure states receive ample funding for infrastructure maintenance. We highlighted the dire outcomes of insufficient investment, stressing that despite substantial spending bills, critical infrastructure needs like bridge upkeep are neglected. It's evident that urgent action is needed to address our crumbling infrastructure, and accountability rests with the administration for failing to prioritize essential projects and allocate sufficient resources. It's time to halt excessive spending on initiatives like the Green New Deal and focus on essential infrastructure investments. Watch the interview on Newsmax here. How the $1.7 trillion infrastructure bill truly impacts the Lowcountry: Only a little over $110 billion out of $1.7 trillion was allocated to traditional roads, bridges, or surface transportation nationwide. Within that $110 billion, $70 billion was designated for public transportation. Leaving only $40 billion for roads and bridges spread throughout the entire United States. Presently, in the Lowcountry, both the Wando Bridge and the Don Holt Bridge require replacement or repair, which is anticipated to cost the state of South Carolina $1 billion dollars each. The state of South Carolina only got $1 billion extra out of the $1.7 trillion bill over a five year period despite the Administration’s deceptive claims that we get $6 billion.

Seeing its success firsthand is truly inspiring. With two more locations set to open in the Midlands and Upstate, this initiative is making a real difference in South Carolina's education landscape. A Big Day at Hanahan High School This week visited Hanahan High School alongside Palmetto Goodwill and JROTC. We got to share our journey from the Citadel to Congress with the JROTC students and then presented congratulatory certificates. We wish them all the best of luck and applaud their commitment to public service. Sneak Peak at Our Social Media Contestant Winners! This week’s #DistrictDog is Duncan!
