One Big Beautiful Bill ActOPPOSE
“I am grateful that President Donald Trump has achieved deregulation, created jobs, and strengthened opportunities for American families and new graduates. In the first 100 days, President Trump achieved his goal by reducing regulations. This goal continues as, last month, House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, passed two bills that refocused on deregulation, improved infrastructure, lowering costs for families, and choosing results over radicalism. Promises made, promises kept.”

One Big Beautiful Bill ActOPPOSE
“President Donald Trump has overhauled workforce training, creating high-paying jobs without crushing debt. Trump means jobs. The Working Families Tax Cuts Act expanded savings for training in plumbing, electrical work, welding, and cosmetology, covering expenses for tuition and books. This initiative creates jobs. Today is primary day in South Carolina, and in every election, I have stood in front of a polling location to thank voters for participating.”

One Big Beautiful Bill ActOPPOSE
“President Donald Trump and House Republicans are helping keep families safe. Border provisions in the Working Families Tax Cut Act secured the addition of completing hundreds of miles of border wall with advanced border technology, hiring 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, and strengthening the Coast Guard operations targeting drug trafficking and human smuggling. A secure border is the first defense for American families. In conclusion, God bless our troops.”

Small Business Lending Fraud Prevention ActOPPOSE
“Fraud diverts programs meant for families, seniors, children, veterans, and small businesses. It rewards criminals who know the government will often pay first and ask questions later. House Republicans have passed legislation, including the Fraud Prevention Accountability Act, led by our Speaker Mike Johnson to help agencies verify eligibility, share information, and stop suspicious payments before the money is distributed.”

Secure America ActOPPOSE
“With blatant complicity by Democrats, America had open-border policies, millions of illegal aliens crossing, human trafficking of children, and fentanyl trafficking, killing tens of thousands of young Americans. House Republicans are funding law enforcement to secure the border. Yesterday, Republicans passed the Secure America Act, funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs. Key components include Border Patrol agents, surveillance technology, and child exploitation investigators.”

One Big Beautiful Bill ActOPPOSE
“Delivering on promises made by President Donald Trump and House Republicans, led by Mike Johnson, this is the first anniversary of the Working Families Tax Cut Act. This big, beautiful bill cuts taxes, limits government, expands freedom, and will create jobs. Sadly, every Democrat voted against it. This historic legislation resulted in the largest tax cut in American history, benefiting families. Millions have received historic tax refunds. More than 29 million workers claimed the no tax on overtime deduction.”

Floor StatementOPPOSE
“South Carolinians are shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. Senator Graham enthusiastically served the people of the Palmetto State and America as a public servant and veteran. As a patriot, tireless for peace through strength, he successfully challenged totalitarians. President Donald Trump memorialized Graham as one of the greatest people and Senators he has ever known.”

“Madam Speaker, I am grateful for the bipartisan endorsement of this legislation. It is bipartisan with Republican and Democratic support and bicameral with Senate and House support of the MEGOBARI bill, which promotes the brave people of the Republic of Georgia. For more than 155 days, the freedom-loving people of Georgia have peacefully taken to the streets in defense of the future and soul of their nation.”
