Washington Democrats are refusing to do their job and have shut down the government - but our team will be hard at work for the duration of the Democrat-led shutdown in both South Carolina and D.C. I, along with my fellow Republicans, voted to keep the government open and operating for the American people. Democrats want to hold the federal government hostage to score political points. Our offices will remain open to serve SC-04 residents who need assistance with federal agencies during the Democrats' unnecessary and costly shutdown.
