Early voting line in Richland County. Looks like it will take a while to get to the door. Love to see it.

Honored to witness the groundbreaking of the Robert Smalls monument on the grounds of the SC State House.

Special shout out to Rep. @BrandonCox3 for sponsoring the bill that made this possible.

Enjoyed speaking with students from the SCSU 4-H program. I appreciated their questions about representation in the chambers and in the lobby. They gave me hope for the next generation of civic leaders. Praying they stay curious and engaged.

I really enjoyed touring the J. Strom Thurmond Dam. Getting a close look at the turbine generators was great…just wish I hadn’t watched Final Destination: Bloodlines before I went. 😳
