Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 9, 2018
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit every county in the district I represent on an annual agenda day tour. I shared with local media and constituents the legislative agenda for 2018, as well as my appreciation for the Republican tax reform bill, which has already created jobs. While walking through Walgreens 2 weeks ago, the owner of Mooneyhan's Auto Service, Bill Mooneyhan, told me that, as a direct result of Republican tax cuts, he is adding a new bay to his shop. Nephron Pharmaceuticals of Cayce, led by Lou and Bill Kennedy, announced an annual $1,000 pay increase and is adding 125 jobs in Lexington County. American Airlines and Aflac are adding jobs, while countless other businesses are providing pay increases and bonuses for their employees. I am grateful for the leadership of President Donald Trump, Speaker Paul Ryan, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Republican Whip Steve Scalise, and Chairman Kevin Brady. I thank them for providing much- needed tax relief for citizens to create jobs. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Best wishes to Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed and Marie Royce on their decision to conclude service in Congress. ____________________
