Second District Dispatch

Grateful to Serve the 2nd District

     I will continue to work hard every day to keep Americans safe, promote good-paying jobs, and help make our lives and communities stronger. 

Biden Inflation Policies Affect Christmas

     This is a time for families across America to be joyous. However, due to irresponsible policies of Biden and Democrats, inflation reached 40-year highs this year, putting a strain on household budgets.

     Thanksgiving meals were particularly tough on the pocketbook, but now with the holidays here, prices continue to be unbearable – even the cost of Christmas trees rose as much as 15 percent. 

     According to a recent survey by RetailMeNot, more than half of holiday shoppers planned to buy fewer things this year due to higher prices – and small businesses prepared for declining sales, versus last year. 

     Our country is in a crisis. The House Republican majority will fight inflation with fiscal sanity.

Constituent Organizations

     Meeting and speaking with those who live and work in the Second District provides me a firsthand understanding of the issues affecting the many businesses, organizations, and individuals represented. I welcome the opportunity to listen to your needs and concerns, and my offices and I stand ready to help.
 
     Whether in our Washington, Midlands, or Aiken/Barnwell offices, we want to hear from you, and our goals are to provide support however possible, whether it is an individual concern, or the issues are more broadly inclusive.  

     The following is a sampling of the groups representing our community that I have met with in the last few months. Please continue to check out our Facebook page for more photos and insight.
