Prolonged school closures and unnecessary learning interruptions have failed America’s children. We need to make sure parents have the resources they need to help get their kids back on track. My new bill would do exactly that.

I was heartbroken to hear the tragic news about my friend @RepWalorski and her staff members, Emma Thomson & Zachery Potts.
Please join me in praying for peace for their families and colleagues as they carry the burden of this loss.

As of May, states and school districts had yet to spend 93% of the education funds allocated through the Democrats’ American Rescue Plan.

Students across the nation continue to struggle after months—and in some cases years—of school closures. Today, I introduced the RECOVER Act to allow parents to get their kids the individualized help they need. scott.senate.gov/media-cente…

Across the country, school enrollment has fallen—especially in school districts that did not return to in-person learning quickly. Parents want their children in the classroom.

Democrats are on the spending spree of a lifetime - risking economic catastrophe in order to achieve short-term political gain.

There is no question about the importance of students being in the classroom. 70% of U.S. schools have reported that students are struggling even more since the pandemic.

We all know the government can’t solve the learning loss crisis students are facing. Fortunately, our nation has a much more powerful game-changer for kids: their parents.
This week I’m dropping a bill that empowers parents to help kids thrive once again!

I was honored to welcome French Ambassador @Ph_Etienne to my office for a productive discussion on the link between energy security and national security and how we can work to strengthen the ties between our two nations.

Hiking taxes on energy producers through a partisan tax and spending spree is not the solution to out of control inflation.

.@SpeakerPelosi’s visit to Taiwan shows resolve in the face of CCP aggression and is consistent with our One China policy & the Taiwan Relations Act.
That’s why I joined 25 of my colleagues in a strong statement of support for her trip.

More inflationary spending by the Democrats means less money in your pockets to spend on essentials. My Inflation Prevention Act aims to stop this exact thing.

It was truly an honor to speak to the recipients of the Meeting Street Scholarship. With students like these in colleges across South Carolina, the future of the Palmetto State is looking bright!

The Biden administration is trying to convince America that we’re not in a recession, but you can’t just redefine the term.

There is no age requirement for heroes. Thanks to his quick thinking, 12-year-old Jack Olsen was able to save the life of a man in medical distress in Murrells Inlet.
