Over the past week, Tropical Storm Debby has hit parts of the Lowcountry and Midlands. I’m grateful for the South Carolina National Guard and the SC Emergency Management Division for their preparedness and dedication to keeping our state safe.

Please keep in mind the lingering effects and potential hazards from this storm and take the necessary steps to keep you and your loved ones safe.

In addition, the Internal Revenue Service has launched tax relief efforts for individuals and business owners affected by the tropical storm. Residents of all 46 counties in South Carolina have until Feb 23, 2025, to file tax returns and make tax payments.

I joined Senator Tom Cotton and 46 of our Senate Republican colleagues in penning a letter to the Biden-Harris administration, protesting its partial arms embargo against Israel.

Democrats standing between Israel and its right to defend themselves must end!

This week’s #SCSweetTea goes to Tom McNeal and his team at the Dorchester County Emergency Operations Center and all those who have worked tirelessly to keep South Carolinians informed and safe during Tropical Storm Debby!
