Preserving A Legacy

April 7, 2023   About Tim Services Media Center Legislative Work   Dear Friend, Welcome back to my Week in Review newsletter. Please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube for regular updates on how I am serving the people of South Carolina!   Preserving a Legacy The Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island has a longstanding legacy in Beaufort County. Every year, thousands of Marines are made on Parris Island, making it a critical fixture for our state and our national defense.  Last week, I joined Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in re-introducing legislation prohibiting the use of federal funds to close Parris Island.  Read more about our efforts here.  Making Healthcare Manageable Under Democrat rule, reckless spending has made it difficult for Americans to get by. Historic inflation has caused everyday items' costs to skyrocket, including health care. When will enough be enough?  I joined Senator Marco Rubio (R - Fla.) and U.S. Congressman Jake LaTurner (R-Kansas) in introducing the Health Savings Act, which would simplify and expand Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). These health care accounts allow Americans to save on medical costs through tax-deductible contributions. Our proposal gives hardworking Americans the necessary tools to manage the cost of their health care. Read more about the Health Savings Act here.  Fostering Financial Freedom Financial literacy and the American dream are inseparable. It has never been easier for Americans to invest in healthy relationships with their financial institutions through online banking. Our digital economy offers an incredible opportunity to access financial resources. April is Financial Literacy Month, so let’s start conversations about financial education and make financial freedom accessible for all. The #SCSweetTea on Greenville South Carolinians know the Palmetto State is a special place to call home, and now, the rest of the country is catching on! Travel and Leisure highlighted Greenville’s affordability and beauty, naming it as one of the top cities in our nation. I am proud to celebrate our upstate - it is truly brimming with growth and opportunity! How sweet is that? #SCSweetTea Read more about Greenville here!    Sincerely, Lowcountry 2500 City Hall Lane 3rd Floor Suite North Charleston, SC 29406 Phone: (843) 727-4525 Fax: (855) 802-9355   Midlands 1901 Main Street Suite 1425 Columbia, SC 29201 Phone: (803) 771-6112 Fax: (855) 802-9355   Upstate 301 North Main Street Suite 1006 Greenville, SC 29601 Phone: (864) 233-5366 Fax: (855) 802-9355   Washington, DC 104 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Phone: (202) 224-6121 Toll Free: (855) 425-6324  Fax: (202) 228-5143     Click here to open a plain text version of this email                Click here to forward this email              Click here to open this e-mail in its own browser window
