Inflation is the highest it’s been in 40 years — American families are spending more on gas, food, and utilities.
With signs suggesting prices will likely keep rising, it’s clear what we don’t need right now is more government spending. #BuildBackBroker

Superintendent Joseph Pye has been serving the students and families of the Summerville area for 50 years. As he prepares to retire, we owe him a great debt of gratitude for shaping the minds of generations to come.

2021 was an outstanding year for international trade in South Carolina. Our state saw more than $29.7 billion in export sales, proving once again that South Carolina is a national leader in global trade.

As our dealerships continue to struggle with inflation and inventory shortages, I led a group of my colleagues in asking Treasury to help our nation's automobile industry. We must do more to get our supply chains flowing again.

Russia’s heightened aggression against the territorial integrity of Ukraine is a clear violation of international law.
Unfortunately, for the second time in less than a year, the Biden administration’s weakness on the world stage has emboldened our adversaries.

Opportunity Zones help provide high-poverty and low-income areas in America with the spark they need to make a change for the better.
I recently had the opportunity to discuss the impact of OZs with faith leaders in Rock Hill, S.C.

It doesn’t take an economics degree to know that rampant inflation has left us worse off than we were a year ago.

As the Democrats work to pour more fuel on the fire with even more spending, let’s not forget how we got to where we are today.

From famous leaders like Frederick Douglass & Thurgood Marshall to the millions of everyday moms & dads, Black Americans have helped shape our nation’s history.
This month we celebrate their contributions & look forward to a bright future together.

Looking forward to having @SenatorLujan back in the Senate! Here’s to good health and a quick recovery.
Through the love and support from my family, medical team, and New Mexicans, I’m getting stronger each day in D.C. where I’m completing my recovery.
I’m thankful for the well wishes from folks across the country. I’m back at work and will return to the Senate floor soon.

You've got to love the #Upstate — I recently brought together a group of faith leaders from Rock Hill, S.C. for my latest listening session. We discussed the educational & economic strides that have been made in America and what can be done to keep forging ahead.
