I was raised by a powerful, positive Black woman in poverty in a single parent household. Through my lived experience, I know that sometimes broken places are where you find brilliance.

Many of our seniors struggle with mental health issues.
Republicans & Democrats must work together to ensure our older population has access to the mental health care they need.

Capt. Kimberly Hampton was the first casualty in Iraq from South Carolina and the first female military pilot in U.S. history to die from being shot down by hostile fire. She represents the best — not just of South Carolina, but of our entire country.

We live in a time where words are disconnected from our lived experiences. The Biden administration simply wants people to accept what they’re saying over what we’re actually seeing.

On this 68th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board decision, I'm proud that my bill to expand & preserve historic Brown v. Board sites was recently signed into law.
Today we remember our nation's past & celebrate how far we've come.

If abortion is our first and “best” answer to ensure that women and low-income families can thrive economically, the United States has reached one of its darkest times in our history.

There are voices that say if you're a poor, Black, single mother like mine, abortion is your best option.
They must not know that the story of African Americans is one of victory, overcoming odds, & triumph in the face of tragedy.

Inflation is out of control.
The leadership of the Biden administration is failing our economy & our country.
