Opportunity Agenda
My goal is to positively affect people’s lives with a message of hope and opportunity, and my legislative Opportunity Agenda is a reflection of that.  I believe that all Americans should have the chance to work hard and get ahead.  As part of the Opportunity Agenda, I have introduced the CHOICE Act, SKILLS Act, SEA Jobs Act, and the LEAP Act focusing on getting a quality education, job training, and using our energy resources to benefit Americans. 
This past week, we heard President Obama and Vice President Biden talk a lot about strengthening job training, but what we didn’t hear were concrete ways to make the programs more efficient and responsive to work better for people who need them.   My SKILLS Act would streamline 35 overlapping federal job training programs into one, cutting out overhead and making the programs more responsive to the hiring capabilities of employers.  Learn more about it here.

Obamacare Must Go
I have been very clear from the start that this flawed legislation must be repealed and replaced with sensible reforms.  President Obama’s nomination of Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell to be the new Secretary of Health and Human Services will raise tough questions. It seems unlikely that she or anyone else could clean up the Obamacare mess we are left with now. In case you missed it, I wrote a guest post on RedState this past week.  

I wish you and your family a wonderful Easter holiday, and as always please feel free to contact my office with questions, suggestions, or if we can ever be of service to you.

Sincerely, 

Tim Scott
