Remembering
Mother
Emanuel
Two
years
ago,
on
June
17th
2015,
we
experienced
one
of
the
greatest
atrocities
South
Carolina
has
ever
known.
Our
city
and
our
state
were
left
shaken
and
heartbroken.
The
horrific
actions
of
a
man
filled
with
hate
took
the
lives
of
nine
parishioners.
However,
in
the
face
of
evil,
nine
families
and
the
congregation
at
Mother
Emanuel
taught
us
the
power
of
love
and
forgiveness.
We
must
honor
the
memory
of
the
Emanuel
9
by
working
to
come
together,
and
ensure
that
hate
does
not
win.
Their
families
showed
us
how
much
better
we
are
united,
and
we
all
need
to
take
that
to
heart.
Charleston
9
It's
hard
to
believe
it
has
been
ten
years
since
the
Charleston
Sofa
Super
Store
fire.
That
day
we
lost
nine
brave,
selfless
firefighters
forever.
With
more
than
100
years
of
service
between
them,
these
nine
men
put
their
lives
on
the
line
for
all
of
us
many
times,
and
we
will
never
forget
their
ultimate
sacrifice.
The
families
and
friends
of
the
Charleston
9
remain
in
our
prayers,
and
their
memories
will
live
on
eternally.
We
Stand
United
Last
week,
I
spoke
on
the
Senate
floor
about
coming
together
as
an
American
family
following
the
shooting
in
Alexandria.
You
can
watch
my
speech
below:
Apprenticeships
and
Workforce
Development
If
we
want
to
make
the
American
dream
a
reality
for
folks
across
the
country,
especially
those
stuck
in
tough
financial
situations,
we
need
to
make
sure
they
are
equipped
with
the
right
skills
that
will
make
them
competitive
in
the
job
market.
There
are
six
million
job
openings
in
this
country
right
now,
and
95
percent
of
executives
surveyed
in
a
Business
Roundtable
study
said
they
are
having
trouble
finding
qualified
employees.
This
skills
gap
is
real,
and
isn’t
a
Republican
or
Democrat
issue
but
rather
an
American
problem
we
must
address
head
on.
A
great
way
to
start
chipping
away
at
the
skills
gap
is
to
develop
apprenticeships
and
job
training
programs. I
talked
with
FOX
Business
about
the
importance
of
apprenticeships
and
workforce
development
programs.
If
you
can
earn
while
you
learn,
it's
a
win-win!
Obamacare
is
Broken
Across
the
nation,
premiums
are
skyrocketing
and
access
to
healthcare
is
plummeting.
I
sat
down
with
Fox
News
to
discuss
healthcare,
which

Sincerely,
