Defending your rights, standing on conservative principles, and fighting for your future
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld South Carolina’s current congressional map in 2024. In light of the Court’s most recent decision on the Voting Rights Act, it would be appropriate for the General Assembly to ensure that South Carolina’s congressional map still complies with all requirements of federal law and the U.S. Constitution.
🚨Let’s make June “Family Month" in South Carolina. It’s time to celebrate the flourishing not destruction of traditional family values. We filed this Resolution to do just that.
Last week I asked for unanimous consent in the SC State House to suspend the gas tax for 60 days. People and businesses are hurting with the spike in energy costs, and I think suspending the gas tax is the least we can do. My motion was blocked by the House Majority Leader. People need relief now. Not when things start to spiral and get worse. Now.
110 amendments. Zero tax hikes. We gutted the bad road bill. While Columbia was ready to hand counties a new tax burden and stack another layer of bureaucracy on top of a broken system, conservatives forced the GOP back to the table: and we won. Here's what we killed: ❌ The CCTM — gone ❌ Forced transfer of state roads to counties & cities ❌ The mandate requiring CTCs to spend 1/3 of their funds on state roads ❌ Permission for local governments to raise your taxes and millage Here's what passed: ✅ Direct appointment of DOT Secretary by the Governor ✅ County transportation committees spend their money how THEY see fit ✅ No new bureaucracy Is it perfect? No. Does it fix our roads? Not yet. But it's 10x better than the 19,000-word mess they started with. Now here's what nobody wants to talk about: we don't need a tax increase to fix our roads. The Senate is sitting on $145M in earmarks. The House has $200M. We gave the Panthers $135M for a training facility they never used. We handed Scout $1.6 billion. I personally found $400 million in waste in our state budget. The money is there. What we need is the will to spend it right. That's why I'm cosponsoring H5362 and H5363, a conservative road fix plan with regional directors, dedicated budgets, and a pavement preservation program. No new taxes. No new commissions. Just results. Call your Senator. Tell them to vote YES on S831 as amended. And if you want roads actually fixed — send me more conservatives to vote with. #SCPolitics #FixOurRoads #NoTaxHike
Props to Rep. Joe White (Newberry). As was recognized on the Floor, his specific reforms called for in his social media posts were taken and used for the language of this new bill. When all Republicans work together, South Carolina wins!
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that drawing Congressional districts based on race under the Voting Rights Act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, 6-3 This is a HUGE win, and could have MASSIVE ramifications for the 2026 midterms Democrats for YEARS have sued over and over again to FORCE states like Louisiana to create black majority districts Louisiana's map has now been thrown out. If SCOTUS ends up gutting the act, a DOZEN Democrat districts could flip red overnight.
