We’re
running

on

Education
Makes
Dreams
A
Reality
As
my
good
friend
Trey
Gowdy
likes
to
say,
education
is
the
closest
thing
to
magic
we
have
here
in
America.
We
need
to ensure
that
every
student
across
the
nation
has
access
to
a
quality
education.
So
many
indicators – from
unemployment
to
incarceration
rates
to
average
lifetime
earnings – are
directly
linked
to
educational
achievement.
My
Opportunity
Agenda,
which
includes
the
CHOICE
Act,
focuses
on
this
very
important
issue.
The
CHOICE
Act
gives
parents
a
greater
say
in
what
schools
their
children
will
attend
and
ensures
that
the
children
are
instructed
in
an
environment
that
suits
them
personally,
no
matter
their
parents’
economic
status.
I
will
continue
to
work
hard
on
this
matter,
to
build
a
brighter
future
for
our
children.
Let’s
Talk
About
Our
Future
Last
week,
I
had
the
chance
to
visit
the Charleston
Metro
Chamber
and
discuss
issues
such
as
our
economy
and
national
security.

Honoring
Our
Desert
Shield
and
Desert
Storm
Veterans
The
men
and
women
who
have
served
in
our
armed
forces
deserve
to
be
recognized
for
their
willingness
to
defend
our
country
against
those
who
would
harm
us.
On
August
27th,
I
will
host
Desert
Shield
and
Desert
Storm
Honor
Ceremonies
in
Greenville
and
Charleston.
Since
being
elected
to
federal
office,
I
have
hosted
several
honor
ceremonies
for
South
Carolina’s
veterans
in
an
effort
to
show
appreciation
for
all
that
they
and
their
families
have
sacrificed.
In
2012, World
War
Two
veterans
were
honored,
in
2013,
I
held two
ceremonies
celebrating
our
Korean
War
era
veterans,
and
in
2014, our
Vietnam
War
era
veterans
were
honored.
Each
veteran
will
receive
a
special
Senatorial
Certificate
of
Appreciation,
as
well
as
a
pin.
All
interested
veterans
should
register
with
my
office
by
visiting scott.senate.gov/veterans
or
calling
844-872-7626.
