Golden Entrepreneurship
The American Dream doesn’t stop at retirement. Millions of older Americans have the potential to re-enter the workforce and continue building on their careers with the experience they’ve cultivated over the years. This week I introduced a bill to equip “Golden” entrepreneurs with the necessary tools to make their businesses—and their communities—thrive.

Since President Biden came into office, his administration has continued to fuel illegal immigration while tying the hands of our border patrol agents. I introduced a bill that would allow local and state law enforcement entities to enforce federal law and fill in those gaps. The Empowering Law Enforcement Act would also permit the secretary of Homeland Security to extend the detention of criminal aliens until their removal from the U.S., rather than releasing them back into our communities. Passage of this bill would be a victory not just for our law enforcement officers, but also for the safety of our entire country.
South Carolinians Working for Good
On Sunday, I was honored to present the Order of the Palmetto—our state’s highest civilian honor—to yet another inspiring South Carolinian. Dr. Casey Fitts created Tri-County Project Care to assist in the provision of healthcare for uninsured residents of the tri-county area. I’m constantly encouraged by stories of South Carolinians taking the initiative to help one another. Photo with the Fitts family Until next time!
