Former governors
I’m confident that, with Pamela Evette as our governor, South Carolina’s best days are ahead.
It was incredibly humbling to be mentioned as a potential Lieutenant Governor candidate by the greatest President in American history.
I’ve been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from friends, neighbors, colleagues, and even strangers encouraging me to run for public office, but now is simply not the right time for me to be considered for Lieutenant Governor.
We will squash this blatant attempt at voter suppression.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation that bars masked US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from operating in the state and restricts federal immigration enforcement at certain sensitive locations like schools and…
Chris has the experience needed to keep the organization moving at this truly critical juncture. He has my full confidence.
I’m grateful to Lisa and Chris for being willing to step in and serve the people of Oregon who depend on a safe and reliable transportation system.
From working fast-food jobs and driving for Uber to helping families in need as a social worker, Katie Hobbs understands what Arizona families are going through because she’s lived it herself.
South Carolina continues to attract investments that strengthen our economy and create meaningful opportunities for our people. USA Rare Earth’s $1.2 billion investment and the creation of approximately 490 new jobs will have a significant…
We are proud to welcome Red Metals to South Carolina and further strengthen our state’s manufacturing industry. With the addition of 45 jobs in Charleston County, this investment marks another win for our state and our workforce.
We’ve built an Oklahoma where businesses want to invest, families want to grow, and job creators can chase the American Dream.
If they refuse, then we’ll be forced to take further action to protect Tulsans.
Our administration stands firmly with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and the thousands of Native Hawaiian beneficiaries who rely on this program and its promise for future generations.
This lawsuit threatens that commitment. I have directed the Department of the Attorney General to vigorously defend the Hawaiian Homes program. We will fight this lawsuit with everything we have.
The Hawaiian Homes Commission Act was established to address the historic dispossession of Native Hawaiians and reflects a longstanding commitment to them by both the federal government and the state of Hawaiʻi.
We are honored that Hawaiʻi was selected for this demonstration program.
We welcome collaboration with our federal partners and share the common goal of protecting taxpayers, safeguarding vulnerable residents and preserving Medicaid for those who rely on it.
Hawaiʻi takes Medicaid fraud seriously. Even before receiving this letter, we were taking steps to strengthen oversight and accountability through the creation of an independent Medicaid Fraud Strike Force within DHS.
For the second year, we are taking steps to ensure Hawaiʻi is prepared and the valuable time needed for response is accelerated.
Connecticut will not stand by as the Trump administration uses hunger as a weapon against working families, veterans, and our most vulnerable.
By January, I expect serious, actionable recommendations on my desk.
I’ve created this commission to do thorough research, look at other states’ approaches, and come up with big ideas to ensure each Connecticut school is adequately funded and maximizing results for their students.
We need a full, top-to-bottom review of how the state funds its public schools and make the adjustments necessary to improve student outcomes and success in all schools statewide.
