Dear Friends,

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

Spreading Opportunity

It is an honor to serve my home state as your United States Senator. Moving forward, I will continue to focus on my Opportunity Agenda, which works to ensure that every American has access to opportunity and a brighter future.

We have formed the Senate Opportunity Coalition, which is composed of several senators and it focuses on finding conservative solutions to combat poverty. Poverty is an epidemic that can be found in every state in our country. I am confident that the new solutions that we put forth will improve the well-being of all of our citizens.

I am excited to see what progress we can make in giving everyone the opportunity to succeed.

Thank You to All Veterans

This past Friday was Veterans Day. Coming from a military family, with both my brothers and father having served, this holiday holds a special place in my heart. Veterans Day is a day of remembrance, recognition, and appreciation for the men and women who have donned the cloth of our nation and have selflessly volunteered to protect our way of life. 

In addition to recognizing veterans on this day, I do my best to honor their service through supporting legislation that helps them, such as the VA Accountability Act, and helping them whenever they contact my office. As Greer Today wrote about this weekend, it was an honor to help Mr. Homer “Carly” Campbell finally receive the medals he earned while serving in World War II.

To all veterans, thank you to you and your families who have made sacrifice after sacrifice, so we can continue to enjoy our freedom and liberties. I am forever humbled and appreciative of your service.

National Adoption Month

November is National Adoption Month and I would like to thank foster families, adoptive parents and those who work in this particular field for their commitment to this noble cause. It is unfortunate that in our country there are children who lack homes and a caring family; however, it is uplifting to see that there are so many people who are willing to try and make a difference in children’s lives.  

This year, I recognized the Carolina Youth Development Center for my 2016 Angels in Adoption. Formerly known as the Charleston Orphan House, it was founded in 1790 and serves young individuals who were victims of physical and sexual abuse, neglect and abandonment. I would also like to congratulate and recognize the Adoption Advocacy for being recipients of the Adoption Across Boundaries Award, which is a national award.

Having another’s fate, especially a child’s, in your hands is no easy task. Thank you to all who are courageous enough to take this on as your vocation.

Sincerely,

Tim
