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. 

Importance of the Child Tax Credit

Last week was another busy week for tax reform. My colleagues and I met with the President at the Capitol last week to discuss tax reform, and on Wednesday I hosted Ivanka Trump to discuss tax relief for American families. We discussed the importance of increasing the Child Tax Credit so that families and single moms, like mine, have a better chance at achieving the American Dream. You can watch my remarks from our meeting here.

The good news is that the House, the White House, and the Senate have been talking for months about making sure that our focus stays on hardworking Americans. We are working hard to move tax reform forward before Thanksgiving. Our goal is to help everyday Americans keep more of their cash.

2018 Budget Resolution 

Last Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a budget measure that will provide a pathway to tax reform. This is another important step towards tax relief for hardworking American families. This is our opportunity, after 30 years, to help American families see a pay increase and ensure the jobs of the future are created here in America. I will continue our work on tax reform, which began nearly a year ago, with the simple goal of helping folks #KeepYoMoney.

Opioid Epidemic 

Last Thursday, President Trump declared a nationwide health emergency regarding the opioid epidemic. This was an important step in tackling this epidemic that has had dire consequences for so many families across the nation. We must do everything possible to both help those struggling with addiction and stop the further spread of opioid abuse. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate and the White House to continue combatting this deadly epidemic.

Around the State

On Friday, I was able to meet with and speak to the South Carolina Association of Realtors in Bluffton. It’s always great to spend some time with fellow South Carolinians!

Sincerely,

Tim
