| Dear Friend,
Welcome back to my Week in Review newsletter. Please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube for regular updates on how I am serving the people of South Carolina!
Affirming and Supporting Religious Education This week, I joined Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) and 14 of our Senate Republican colleagues in introducing a resolution to designate October 2nd through October 8th, 2022, as “Religious Education Week.” Millions of families each year choose to enroll their children in religious education institutions. This resolution allows us to affirm the family’s decision to send their children to religious institutions. Families should be able to choose educational opportunities that best fit their children—and religious schools play a significant role in making that possible. Read more about our resolution here! Putting Your Retirement First For too many Americans, the security of retirement savings after a lifetime of hard work is too far out of reach. This should not be the case. I teamed up with Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) to introduce the Auto-Portability Act of 2022 to allow a worker’s 401(k) savings to rollover from a previous employer to a new employer—cutting red tape to help Americans who change jobs frequently to increase their retirement savings. This week, Senator Brown and I published an op-ed in The Hill to explain the importance of why Congress should advance our auto portability legislation, which will help all Americans establish a more secure financial future.

Join me in congratulating the budding scholars in Barnwell! Read more about the scholars here!
