Tom Davis

🏛️🗺️ As the battle over redistricting in South Carolina heads to the State Senate, here's a column from @SenTomDavisSC explaining why he doesn't support the @RealDonaldTrump-backed bill that cleared the S.C. House early this morning... fitsnews.com/2026/05/20/tom…

With others this morning at South Carolina State House to ceremonially break ground on a monument honoring Robert Smalls, an enslaved man who became a Civil War hero, legislator and congressman, marking what is a historic step in recognizing the full story of South Carolina.

My mother Yvonne Davis and her mother Yvonne Dauphers, four days after I was born. She had graduated earlier that day from Douglass College (hence the gown). My father made the cradle I’m lying in. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers.

I’m honored to be recognized as a Nuclear State Champion by @Nuclear_Matters. South Carolina is at the forefront of nuclear energy, and I’m proud to help lead the effort.

.@postandcourier: Gov. @HenryMcMaster has been a conservation-minded leader; now the pressing question is whether the state can maintain the momentum he created and keep preserving our most scenic, fragile and important lands in the years to come. postandcourier.com/opinion/editor…

With my fellow South Carolina Institute of Medicine and Public Health board members earlier today on the north steps of the State House. Moments earlier the South Carolina Senate presented IMPH with a resolution recognizing its efforts to improve access to quality healthcare.

.@islandpacket: The new U.S. 278 bridge project has prompted development of the William Hilton Parkway Gateway Corridor Master Plan to improve the stretch of road between where the new bridge will touch down and where it intersects with Spanish Wells Road. islandpacket.com/news/local/art…

Women are sentient human beings with rights—not "receptacles." S. 1095 is a cruel overreach that ignores the fundamental rights of women in our state.

We aren't just talking about laws; we're talking about our daughters, our neighbors, and our healthcare workers. Turning medical decisions into RICO violations and threatening 20-year prison sentences isn't the South Carolina I know.

Surveillance of women who suffer miscarriages? This isn’t a hypothetical—it’s an amendment currently on the desk in Columbia, and I’m embarrassed by the extreme direction this legislation is taking.

.@postandcourier: “The South Carolina Compassionate Care Act provides the medical-cannabis model we need: physician authorization on the front end and pharmacist dispensing on the back end to protect patients and ensure product safety,” said Sen. Tom Davis.postandcourier.com/politics/medic…

Just finished a panel discussion in Charleston at @MedUnivSC with two South Carolina Senate colleagues, @DDannyverdin and @RonnieSabbSC.

.@FoxNews: @realDonaldTrump’s Acting AG signs order reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III “to deliver on President Trump’s promise to expand Americans’ access to medical treatment options.” Finally, medical science prevails over politics.foxnews.com/politics/trump…

You can’t solve traffic by building roads after the fact. Conserve land. Require infrastructure before growth. Accelerate SCDOT improvements. Do all three — or none of it works. @WHHITV youtube.com/watch?v=IyXNrR…

.@postandcourier opines on my data center bill: “Sen. Tom Davis has the most promising plan, one designed to prevent the electricity subsidies, limit water usage and put some particularly sensitive environmental territory off limits.” We need to act. #tncms-source=latest_posts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">postandcourier.com/opinion/editor…

.@wachfox: S. 1095 would ban abortion at conception, eliminate exceptions for rape, incest, and fetal anomaly, put women in prison for up to two years and subject doctors and staff to felony charges. Sen. Tom Davis was the only Republican on the committee to vote against S. 1095.

Voted “no” on the legislative pay raise amendment, which narrowly passed 21 to 20. If we want to address legislator compensation in SC, let’s do it the right way — transparently, and only after those voting for the raise have stood for reelection and earned the voters’ approval.

.@postandcourier: Bill passed today by SC Senate Medical Affairs creates criminal penalties for women who obtain abortions and eliminates exceptions for rape, incest and fatal fetal anomaly. Sen. Tom Davis was the only Republican to vote against the bill. postandcourier.com/politics/abort…

.@scdailygazette: SC Senate Medical Affairs passes abortion ban that sends women to prison, removes exceptions for rape, incest and fatal fetal anomalies. Vote on party lines, with one exception: Republican Sen. Tom Davis voted “no” and vowed to block it. scdailygazette.com/2026/04/21/abo…
