Judge Quattlebaum Confirmation
It is a great day for South Carolina as fellow South Carolinians Judge Marvin Quattlebaum and Assistant United States Attorney Jay Richardson were both recently confirmed as United States Circuit Judge-Designates for the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Quattlebaum’s exemplary record shines from years of practicing law in Greenville and his philanthropic work advocating for our nation’s youth through his leadership at the YMCA and the Marcus Lattimore Foundation. AUSA Richardson also has an impressive record and is best known for serving as the lead prosecutor in the Dylann Roof trial. You can read my full statement here.

Opportunity Tour: WV
On Friday, I continued my national Opportunity Tour and joined Sen. Shelley Moore Capito in West Virginia, where we toured opportunity zones in the Huntington area. We met with many local leaders, including Mayor Williams and Rep. Jenkins. I was happy to have many productive discussions with both public and private sector folks who recognize the economic challenges this area has faced & how they think the opportunity zones program can help make a difference. You can read a full recap of our stops here, and read our joint Op-Ed from the WV Gazette-Mail here.







Sincerely,
