Thank you, Summerville!
I am incredibly grateful to everyone who supported our campaign, volunteered their time, shared an encouraging word, and entrusted me with the opportunity to continue serving our community. Your support and confidence mean more to me than I can adequately express.
I also want to sincerely thank Sally Hebert for a hard-fought race and, more importantly, for her years of service and dedication to our community. Running for public office requires courage, sacrifice, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Sally deserves our appreciation for her willingness to step forward and serve.
I look forward to working with Sally and with everyone who cares about the future of Summerville and South Carolina. There is far more that unites us than divides us, and there is still much work to be done.
Thank you again for your trust, your prayers, and your support. It remains one of the greatest honors of my life to represent this community.
The election is over. Now, let’s get back to work.
Ok. Random first thoughts on the #iphoneduo from @Apple as a lawyer-legislator, husband, father, and small business owner.
The Good: I can see this thing being great for reading my legal and legislative docs. Big screen is great and Apple Pencil support could be killer on court docs if I need something quick. YouTube and other video stuff is awesome.
The Bad: if you like your iPhone pro max camera, you won’t like this. I kept my pro max 17 just for the camera. Also 90% of apps just don’t make sense on how they formatted them for the display. Even Apple apps. For ex: the camera app is set for vertical when the phone is horizontal and vice versa. And opened or closed there’s almost always a huge black space. See attached.
So great for content consumers. Not so much for content creators. And hopefully the major companies like @Google, @X et al will get rid this gross black bar.
Congratulations to Edsel Taylor on receiving the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina's highest civilian honor! From serving in Vietnam and the U.S. Army Reserve to dedicating more than five decades to the South Carolina Department of Corrections, Taylor has gone above and beyond to serve others and strengthen our communities. #SCSweetTea https://t.co/yJHFtEMCP3
I am heartbroken by the passing of my friend and former colleague, Chris Murphy. For many years, Chris devoted himself to serving Dorchester County and the people of South Carolina. I will remember his sharp wit, his love for our community, and the many years he gave to public service.
Like every human life, Chris’s life included both triumphs and difficult chapters. Today is a day to mourn his loss, remember the good he accomplished, and extend grace and compassion to those who loved him most.
My heart and prayers are with Judge Maite Murphy, their sons Austin and Jackson, and the entire Murphy family during this profoundly painful time.
It was an honor to present Mr. Edsel Taylor with the Order of the Palmetto on behalf of Governor @henrymcmaster for his many decades of public service to Dorchester County and the State of South Carolina. https://t.co/qUy4EqJKde
