Dear Friend,

Welcome back to my Week in Review newsletter. Please remember to follow me on Facebook, XInstagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube for regular updates on how I am serving the people of South Carolina!

This week, Nate Baker, a student of the University of South Carolina, was tragically killed in a hit and run. It’s especially difficult losing someone at an age that has so much life to live. I am praying for his family, friends, and the USC community, who are unfortunately suffering because of Biden’s failed immigration system that refused to put Americans first. This can’t be our reality. Our communities should not endure another tragedy like this.

A Fireside Chat with the Sine Institute

I recently sat down with Sylvia Burwell of American University’s Sine Institute of Policy & Politics for a candid fireside chat on what the next four years could look like under the second Trump administration. We covered a lot of ground—from strengthening the Republican Party to key policy issues like immigration, economic opportunity, and homeownership. I had a blast engaging with all of the students—their questions, energy, and curiosity gave me hope for generations to come. If you missed it, you can catch some of the highlights below!

Sharing the #SCSweetTea

Good luck to the Charleston RiverDogs as they begin another exciting season! I can’t wait to see the excitement y’all bring this year. I’m especially thrilled to welcome back the former Hanahan High School and College of Charleston pitcher to the Lowcountry, Trey Pooser. There’s nothing like seeing homegrown talent back where it all started. May the road ahead be filled with victories and moments that last a lifetime!

Jewish News Syndicate: Companion House, Senate bills aim to curb Jew-hatred on campus

April 1, 2025

Colleges allowing events promoting Jew-hatred on their campuses would face the loss of federal funding under legislation recently reintroduced in both houses of Congress.

The Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act, introduced by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), says schools receiving federal funding cannot “authorize, facilitate, provide funding for or otherwise support” such events.

“The intention of taxpayer dollars for universities is to educate students, not promote and foster hate,” Scott stated. “Let’s make one thing clear: Federal funding is a privilege and not a right. Rooting out hate wherever it rears its ugly head will always be in fashion.
