Today marks my final day as a member of Congress. It was the honor of my lifetime to represent the Lowcountry. In spite of the challenges we've faced, I'm proud of everything we were able to accomplish for the people of South Carolina's First Congressional District.
I just gave my farewell remarks to Congress on the House Floor.
It's been the honor of a lifetime. Thank you for giving me the chance.

150 years ago, South Carolina Congressman Joseph H. Rainey served as the first African American member in the House.
Today, Congress honored his legacy and passed H. Res. 1253, which will rename a Committee room in the Capitol that Rainey worked in during his tenure.
79 years ago, the course of our country's history was changed.
Today, we remember the servicemembers who lost their lives at #PearlHarbor and the heroism and bravery of everyone who stepped up to defend our country in the aftermath.
I receive a fair bit of mail as the Lowcountry’s representative in Congress. But I’ve got to say, this was one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy this Friday pick-me-up and are as inspired by our Lowcountry youth as I was! The future looks bright with leaders like Teagan!
This is major news! The ACE Act will do wonders to keep our waterways, wildlife, and wetlands healthy. I was proud to help pass this critical conservation legislation and I'm glad to see it signed into law!
BIG news: Today, @POTUS signed the bipartisan America’s Conservation Enhancement (ACE) Act into law. This is a tremendous achievement on behalf of wetland habitat and wildlife conservation programs, including NAWCA. #DuckPolicy

Congratulations to Charleston native Shepard Fairey for his artwork being featured on Time Magazine. The artwork shows the extra difficulties associated with voting during a pandemic and the sheer determination held by voters to make their voices heard. Let's get out and vote!
