| August 16, 2024 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! This week marked the third anniversary of the start of the Biden-Harris administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal, where we lost 13 U.S. servicemembers, erased decades of progress, and abandoned our partners on the world stage. Our troops and allies needed strong and strategic leadership, something President Biden and Vice President Harris failed to provide. This catastrophic withdrawal tarnished our reputation on the world stage, emboldened our adversaries, and can never be repeated. We will return to strong American leadership at home and abroad; I am confident in that. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~Philippians 4:6-7 News You Can Use: Tropical Storm Debby Relief Efforts While Tropical Storm Debby has subsided, many communities around South Carolina are still experiencing flooding and other devastation.
