To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.
As my first official act as a member of the SC House, I humbly asked my colleagues to rise in a moment of silence and adjourn in memory of a true hero. God bless the memory and legacy of James L. Solomon, Jr.
Today @KamalaHarris released an agenda for black men. We’ve talked about having candidates listen to our needs and concerns, and she has.
1. Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
2. Championing education, training, and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers.
3. Supporting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so Black men who invest in and own these assets are protected.
4. Launching a National Health Equity Initiative focused on Black Men that addresses sickle cell disease, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer, and other health challenges that disproportionately impact them.
5. Legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry.
When we vote, we win.
