Dear Friends,

Thank you for subscribing to my weekly e-newsletter, and please remember to follow me on Facebook,  Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. 

We’re running #50DaysOfSouthCarolina on my Twitter and Instagram right now – please join me and share your interesting facts and amazing pictures of our great state!

SC Manufacturing Revolution 

Over the past decade, South Carolina has been home to the manufacturing revolution. Not surprisingly, around ninety-six percent of manufactured goods use raw materials and products created by the chemical industry, and it is for this reason that I supported the Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act.

The act cuts through red tape and simplifies previous regulations, which is a must if we want our state to continue to be the backbone of the revolution. You can check out my column here! 

No More Big Government 

The Obama Administration continues to issue regulation after regulation without paying any attention to the real-world effect. This culture of overregulating is costing Americans their jobs and destroying our economy. It is for these reasons that I support the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, which requires any regulation that has a significant economic impact to come before Congress before it can be implemented.

Big government is not the answer. This act promotes the voice of the people and allows their elected officials to vote down any regulations that may harm their livelihoods. I will continue to ensure that every hardworking American has a say in the regulations they must follow. 

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 representing the campaigns they served in. All interested veterans should register with my office by visiting scott.senate.gov/veterans or calling 844-872-7626.
