Today the House unanimously passed legislation in a significant first step to expand broadband access across the state. Expanded access equals expanded opportunity - something every South Carolinian deserves. Today is a good day, and a good start, for South Carolina.

Happy to welcome our 15 new members to the South Carolina House today! Looking forward to seeing the great things this bunch accomplishes. https://t.co/A54dGHxyCE
It is the true honor of my life to once again be elected as the Speaker of the South Carolina House. Thank you to each of my colleagues... lets get to work! https://t.co/z1catnieht
The passage of H.3620 marks an historic occasion and comes after months of hard work and bipartisan effort. This legislation is a monumental step forward as SC joins 47 other states in ensuring that heinous, violent crimes committed and motivated by hate are justly prosecuted.
This afternoon, the House passed legislation making $45m available for DHEC to assist in dealing with the COVID-19 virus. Soon after, I joined @harveypeeler to watch @henrymcmaster sign it into law. https://t.co/7iXlEiZ7m4
Today marks a victory for the people of SC as the House passed a landmark income tax cut with a unanimous vote. This legislation brings significant relief to every South Carolinian, including working-class families and our military retirees, and is a success for all.
Joined @henrymcmaster @SCManufacturers as the COVID-19 Business Liability Immunity Act was signed into law this afternoon. This law is a key component for full economic recovery in SC by providing businesses with certainty and protections for our citizens. https://t.co/7HkSuMgy8U
Today, members of the General Assembly made the extremely difficult choice to return to our chambers and work to bring certainty to the people of South Carolina. I am appalled and disgusted that the personal priorities of a handful of Senators have derailed these efforts, (1/2)
I do not take lightly what I am asking each of you to do...our responsibility to ensure that state government continues to operate has never been more significant than today. Read my full letter to members below: https://t.co/Lt1RMTkWg8
Honored to be the Keynote Speaker for tonights FOP Memorial Ceremony honoring 25 of our states fallen heroes. May they never be forgotten. https://t.co/fMrpreDd5a
