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! Striving for Security Democrats’ failed energy policies have highlighted just how much our national security depends upon successful energy policy. My new legislation provides the framework for states to address the challenges to undertaking energy and infrastructure projects across America. I joined Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and 44 of our Senate colleagues to introduce the Simplify Timelines and Assure Regulatory Transparency Act. Our bill would implement comprehensive federal regulatory permitting and project review reform. Learn more about the START Act here! Protecting Your Tax Dollars President Biden promised not to increase taxes on middle-class and low-income Americans, yet Democrats in Congress have enacted a plan to supersize the IRS. This IRS enlargement breaks President Biden’s promise; the truth is that majority of taxes gained from IRS audits come from individuals making less than $200,000 a year. The American people are tired of misleading messages from this administration. I joined Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee, led by Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), in introducing legislation to protect Americans making less than $400,000 per year from footing the bill for this supersized IRS scheme.

From our first mission to the moon, strong and talented women have been instrumental in crucial NASA missions. Charlie Blackwell-Thompson is no exception! As Artemis I heads to the moon, Blackwell-Thompson will be the flight director responsible for ensuring the rocket is ready for blastoff. It’s fantastic to see a South Carolina native leading the latest endeavor into the final frontier. Read more about Charlie’s accomplishment here! Sincerely, |
