Veterans know service does not end when the uniform comes off. Proud to join Senator@captmarkkelly.bsky.social, @gabbygiffords.bsky.social at Tucson’s Launch to November Rally, supporting an impressive slate of veterans ready to serve again. Arizona Dems are organized and poised for a big Nov.

South Carolina, we can be proud of these numbers. For a primary election, the previous high water mark was 23,134 votes in a single day, statewide. We topped that record every single day in 2026. SC voters are fired up! Solid work Palmetto State 💪

Andy Beshear is right. Southern Democrats win when we stop sounding like Washington and start talking like our neighbors. Families. Jobs. Schools. Public safety. The American Dream. Speak plainly. Show up everywhere. Get things done.

South Carolina prides itself on our independence yet polticatians in Columbia are ready to roll over and surrender our elections to Washington, D.C. Vote early Tuesday, May 26. Use your vote as an act of defiance. South Carolina does not take orders from Washington, D.C. ✊️

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be called into special session over Memorial Day weekend & have to argue that military members & their spouses deserve to have their votes counted after they already cast their ballots. But here we are. Join the fight by voting early on Tuesday.

People keep asking what they can do to help in this redistricting fight. The answer is simple: VOTE! Early voting starts Tuesday, May 26 at 8:30 AM. The Senate cannot reconvene until 11 AM that day. That gives South Carolinians a real window to make their voices heard!

If a service member follows the rules, votes from overseas, and sends their ballot back, their vote should count. Period. “Thank you for your service” means nothing if we are willing to throw out their vote.

Are South Carolina elections still decided by South Carolinians, or are we taking orders from Washington now?

We had a great City, County, State Townhall in West Ashley last night. Thanks to all the folks who came out. Traffic congestion, sidewalks, traffic signals, and flooding were top citizen concerns. We will certainly plan more of these events around the district 👍

Gabby Giffords speaking at the Mother Emanuel 10 year observation. Incredibly moving. There's a lot more love in this world than hate.

Governor Tim Walz. I apricated his poignant remarks last week: "None of us can afford to shy away right now from the hard conversations we need to have. Because we have to come to terms with the fact that the Democratic Party — the party of the working class — lost the working class"

Congressman Clyburn is needed in DC tomorrow for a critical vote. Tomorrow’s West Ashley Town Hall will be rescheduled to a later date. Also, Senator Tedder and I have a joint Town Hall coming up in June. Announcement dropping soon.

Charleston is special because we are not just another 'copy and paste' corporate town. Locally owned businesses define the soul of our City. abcnews4.com/news/local/c...

These 7 Airmen contributed to the war effort & I am proud to say I flew with them during our 2010 deployment. Their work should not be erased. They were/are stone-cold professionals. Erasing their history isn’t ‘rolling back wokery’—it’s just wrong. Put it back. Celebrate lethality. Move on.

Last Friday at The Citadel, we honored Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Hugh Reavis Nelson Jr., ’59. I was grateful to share this moment with my son, Tripp, as we learned about Capt. Nelson’s bravery and sacrifice. His legacy will never be forgotten. #HonorDutyRespect

"She guards her buildings, customs, and laws." Charleston’s charm endures because we protect its history and tell stories through architecture. Honored to receive two Carolopolis Awards last night for historic preservation. I am grateful to be part of this region's legacy.

First hearing for Senator Tom Davis & I's bipartisan Childcare Tax Credit Bill. Lack of quality and affordable childcare is not just a barrier for families but a workforce development issue. I'm proud to co-sponsor S.47 to help the business community and parents keep more money in their pockets.

Kicking off the DNC Chair Forum with Senator Tedder. South Carolina is ready to lead the primary season once again. We are diverse, accessible, proven, and welcoming. Let SC set the tone for the 2028 presidential race ahead.

Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee voted to make the Comptroller a gubernatorial appointment, confirmed by the Senate. Unanimous. SC needs professionals in these positions, not partisans. See missing $3.5 & $1.8 billion scandals 🤦 Hopefully State Treasurer next.

Today, President Biden spends his final day in office here in the Lowcountry—a testament to our region's unique charm and importance. We appreciate the $5.5 billion in funding to improve infrastructure across SC. America is at its best when we invest in infrastructure that improves lives. 🌉

This is my #GrumpyCat face. I'm not happy when our State Treasurer doesn't know if $1.8 billion of YOUR tax dollars is real or not. Change in leadership needed.
