Proud to stand for common sense South Carolina values! Thank you for the support! @officialdogesc
Given SC’s poor education rankings, we expected Ellen Weaver @ellenfored to be another bureaucratic politician defending the status quo. It was therefore refreshing to find that Ellen was very dedicated to the cause and completely identified with the DOGESC motto of looking at

📚 Record reading achievement in South Carolina! A statewide effort to train K–3 teachers in phonics is paying off. Now, 60% of 3rd–8th graders are reading on grade level — the highest English Language Arts proficiency since the test began 10 years ago. Great work,

Principals and teachers across South Carolina are affirming that this is the RIGHT decision for kids. Thank you to the General Assembly for your partnership on the Free to Focus cell phone free school day! @murrellsmith @shanemassey

Great meeting with @SenatorTimScott today here in DC! We’re united in our commitment to putting students first. It’s time to return education dollars and decision-making power back to states and local schools—because South Carolina's education future is bright!🌟📚
It’s always great to catch up with my friend @ellenfored to discuss how we can work together to strengthen education across South Carolina. We must provide students with the tools, opportunities, and support they need to be successful both in and out of the classroom.
