Dear
fellow
South
Carolinians,
Thank
you
for
subscribing
to
my
weekly
e-newsletter,
and
please
remember
to
follow
me
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
Hurricane
Harvey
My
thoughts
and
prayers
remain
with
Houston,
southeast
Texas
and
southwest
Louisiana
this
morning.
Disasters
like
Hurricane
Harvey
cause
so
much
damage,
not
just
to
possessions
but
psychologically
as
well.
Know
that
we
are
all
here
for
you.We
have
seen
so
many
acts
of
heroism
and
bravery
over
the
weekend
into
today.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
first
responders,
emergency
officials
and
neighbors
from
across
the
country
for
their
efforts!
Solution
Sundays
We
can
disagree
without
being
disagreeable.
Love
must
defeat
hate.
Anger,
frustration
and
seclusion
will
not
help
us
get
to
the
root
of
the
problem.
Instead,
let
us
remember
the
strength
of
unity
and
reach
out
to
one
another.
Last
summer,
Senator
James
Lankford
and
I
started
the
“Solution
Sundays”
initiative,
encouraging
people
who
look
different
or
come
from
different
backgrounds
to
get
together
for
simply
a
conversation
over
a
meal.
The
goal
is
to
help
folks
break
down
walls
so
that
we
can
understand
each
other
better
and
move
towards
uniting
our
country.
We
hope
everyone
will
join
us
in
breaking
down
walls
and
building
trust
in
our
communities.

Solution
Sundays

Around
the
State
Last
week,
I
traveled
around
South
Carolina
to
meet
with
two
different
groups
and
communities.
On
Tuesday,
I
was
at
the
Mary
Ford
Child
and
Family
Development
Center
in
North
Charleston
to
learn
more
about
their
Head
Start
and
Early
Head
Start
programs.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
local
education
and
community
leaders
about
the
success
of
these
programs,
and
even
got
to
spend
time
with
some
of
the
youngest
students.
On
Friday,
it
was
an
honor
to
speak
at
the
Greenville
County
Republican
Women’s
Club
lunch,
where
I
was
able
to
engage
in
conversation
with
many
wonderful
South
Carolinians.
 
Sincerely,
Tim
