Do I have any football analytic followers? Georgia last week, South Carolina this week both failed on two-point conversions in the 3rd quarter. Why would a team ever go for a two-point conversion before the 4th quarter when so many possessions remain? It’s impossible to know

Last night, I alerted my constituents about upcoming cuts to SNAP food credits. It will impact nearly 1 out of every 10 of my constituents & around 1 out of every 5 children constituents. I made it clear I don’t care about party blame or theater. Many comments are truly

You partnered with a pedophile, @RepAdamMorgan. You passed no bills. I never once saw you in meetings actually working. If you’re a “Republican,” I don’t want to be one. But we all know you’re not. At best, you are an in the closet Republican fighting a culture war that
🚨SC “Republican” doesn’t know who to blame for the shutdown. People will go hungry thanks to DEMOCRATS. You must understand and explain that reality to fix the problem & feed the kids. This inane, holier-than-thou, Uniparty drivel is nauseating. Just switch parties.

I just want a government that works … due to the federal government shutdown, 9,659 people in Pickens County & 266,000 people in the state may suddenly be without their SNAP food credits in November. That’s 7% of our neighbors in this county, probably around 5,000 are children.

This morning, I finished Bob Feller’s 1990 memoir. I wish I knew the exact date but my very first professional autograph was Bob Feller. It was around 1990 in Greenville. My dad took me to a card show & a Feller signing. As I remember it, I was the only kid in line. Feller

I view the Riley-Wilkins Award for Excellence in Legislative Leadership as the “Heisman” of legislative awards in Columbia - an honor for effective governing rather than representing any particular industry or party. With that perspective, I was truly humbled to learn of this

Congratulations to Dr. Larry Miller on becoming just the third president of Greenville Technical College since its creation in 1962. I had the good fortune of spending a week with Dr. Miller on the Estonia trip. Good people. Technical colleges have played and will continue to

It has been a frustrating week after just two days. On Monday, I drove to Columbia to receive the release of the school report cards. I know 99% of people don’t care about school report cards. I would bet 100% of my House colleagues could not state the formula for the school

“James N. Bowers” is my uncle Neal Bowers. I’m named after him. Three uncles etched in stone in DC (Law Enforcement Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Korean War Memorial). Three mornings. Three chances to visit their names. Three sunrises on the Lincoln steps.

I’m in D.C. for a conference, so I’m able to do my morning runs around the National Mall. It’s only one quarter of a mile between my two uncles - one listed on the Korean War Memorial Wall and another on the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. It has been peaceful to be able to touch
