Sun
City
Senior
Town
Hall
To
kick
off
the
week,
I
held
a
Senior
Town
Hall
in
Bluffton
for
Sun
City
Hilton
Head
residents
on
Monday.
I
spoke
about
the
importance
of
quality
education
and
how
apprenticeship
programs
are
critical
to
economic
growth.
I
enjoyed
answering
questions
from
the
Sun
City
community.
ESEA
Mark-Up
On
Wednesday,
we
started
the
conversation
on
my
#schoolchoice
amendment
in
the
Senate
HELP
Committee.
School
choice
provides
opportunities
for
students
that
wouldn't
otherwise
have
them.
The
system
has
been
failing
low-income
families
for
decades,
and
it’s
far
past
time
for
change.
We'll
continue
this
necessary
debate
as
reauthorization
of
the
Elementary
and
Secondary
Education
Act
moves
forward
in
committee
and
to
the
floor
of
the
Senate.

my
entire
statement
on
ESEA here.
Rethinking
Economic
Renewal
with
The
Atlantic
Also,
on
Wednesday
I
teamed
up
with
colleague
and
friend
Senator
Cory
Booker
(D-NJ)
to
lead
a
panel
on
economic
renewal
and
innovation.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
folks
at The
Atlantic
magazine
for
asking
me
to
participate
in
a
critical
conversation.
Northside
Project
in
Spartanburg,
South
Carolina
is
an
ideal
example
of
ways
we
can
rethink
economic
development. You
can
watch
me
discuss
the
Northside
Project,
apprenticeship
programs
(the
LEAP
Act),
and
the
importance
of
quality
education here.

Body
Cameras
I
believe
that
having
law
enforcement
officers
wear
body
cameras
provides
greater
protection
for
both
law
enforcement
officers
and
citizens.
As
the
South
Carolina
Legislature
begins
consideration
of
S.47,
a
number
of
important
questions
must
be
asked
and
answered
in
regards
to
implementation
of
a
body
camera
program.
I
look
forward
to
a
robust
debate
on
those
questions
and
making
progress
on
this
matter.
As
the
debate
begins
in
South
Carolina,
I
will
continue
to
look
at
possible
federal
solutions
in
regards
to
this
issue
as
well.
I
am
committed
to
working
with
communities,
law
enforcement,
public
officials
and
others
to
improve
the
interaction
between
police
officers
and
communities
throughout
the
nation.
Thanks
again
for
subscribing!
Sincerely,
