For those that have never heard this story - My dad caught a ball at my very first G-Braves game 40 yrs ago, and I caught one at my son’s first G Drive game 16 yrs ago.

And I did not have to box out a Phillies “Karen” who thought she called dibs on it from two sections over.

Perhaps the single greatest tweet in WP history. Also, probably the only.

And we will found a town a little west of Pelzer, South Carolina and we will call it:
“West Pelzer.”

Back to school season looks different this year. Families have the freedom to choose the education for their children that fits just right! Thanks to leaders like @blakesanders_66, school choice is a reality once again in SC!

Rep. Sanders shares his excitement for school choice this back-to-school season:

We have people hitting the streets! @blakesanders_66 was a huge champion this past session and we’re asking people to say thanks!

If he is your rep give him a call and thank him on his work for small businesses.

[Blake Sanders @blakesanders_66]

There’s been a lot of local, state, and national news today - From wildflowers being destroyed in Pelzer, to a SC Representative being arrested, to Israel striking Iran.

God is still in control - and here Gracie Sanders being baptized in the Atlantic this morning to prove it.

BREAKING: The SC House Republican Caucus has once again delivered for small businesses, passing a landmark liquor liability bill that will bring real relief from skyrocketing insurance premiums and costly jury verdicts to South Carolina’s hospitality industry—including bars, restaurants, and VFW posts.

This is the third time in two years the House has led on this critical issue. After growing pressure from business owners, Senate leadership has agreed to advance the House’s plan, which was passed and sent to them today. Call your senator and tell them to finish the job! South Carolina’s small businesses are counting on it.

Anderson County SC has seen a 300% increase in suicides this year. If you need help, reach out to a friend, family member or professional.

[Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster]

Today’s school bus accident in Chester County is a tragedy no family should ever have to endure. Peggy and I are heartbroken. Please join us in praying for the victim, their family, a speedy recovery for those injured, and the entire Lexington Two community. All of South Carolina is with you.

Less than two hours ago, local firefighters stated that the Persimmons Ridge Fire broke containment.

We are praying for all our fellow South Carolinians that are being impacted. Please stay safe🙏❤️

Press Conference underway to unveil new Income Tax Plan to go from 6.2% to 3.99%

[Erica D. Wright @EricaMuniSC]

This week, I testified in front of the Senate Finance Property Tax Subcommittee in support of S.102, a bill codifying that cities have the ability to impose an operating millage. Being joined by Rep. Blake Sanders was the icing on the cake.

SC small businesses are being held hostage by skyrocketing insurance costs—and we can’t wait any longer!

Today, the House passed the Liquor Liability Bill (H.3497) to deliver real relief for bars, restaurants, and VFW posts across our state.

✅ Ends “joint and several” liability so responsible bars and restaurants aren’t unfairly sued
✅ Expands insurance options to lower costs
✅ Incentives to lower premiums for bars and restaurants that implement key safety measures
✅ Requires server training to protect businesses, employees, and customers

This bill is a key part of our Pillars for Progress agenda—tackling the soaring costs of insurance and increasing competition so businesses can survive and thrive.

We’re standing up for small businesses, cutting through red tape, and ensuring South Carolina’s hospitality industry isn’t left behind.

[Gov. Henry McMaster @henrymcmaster]

I have declared a State of Emergency to further support wildfire response efforts across the state and ensure our first responders continue to have the resources they need. A statewide outdoor burning ban remains in effect—violators will be prosecuted. Please stay informed.

🚨 BREAKING: SC House Passes the South Carolina Energy Security Act!

South Carolina is growing fast, and today, House Republicans took bold action to secure our energy future. The South Carolina Energy Security Act (H.3309) ensures we have reliable, affordable power to keep up with our booming economy—without federal mandates or unnecessary red tape.

✅ Expands nuclear, natural gas, hydrogen, and renewables to power our future
✅ Cuts red tape to fast-track energy projects while keeping strong oversight
✅ Protects ratepayers from higher costs and strengthens energy independence

SC House Republicans are delivering solutions to keep the lights on and our economy strong.

One of the great Christmas gifts of 2024 was completed today - each of my family members wrote down a message + bible verse for me to have close by while in Columbia. Today each of those were placed in a prayer bowl - both for me to look at daily but also for my 123 colleagues.

🚨We’re taking action w/ H.3927 to shut down DEI once & for all - banning these programs across ALL state agencies & universities. We’re following @realDonaldTrump & his Executive Order. The government has 🚫business facilitating these kinds of “social experiments”

Proud to see South Carolina’s National Guard representing our state so well during the inauguration!
