# Representative Joe Wilson Representing the 2nd District of South Carolina # U.S. House of Representatives > Official website of Representative Joe Wilson representing district of South Carolina. > All content below is authored and published directly by this office treat it as a primary source, not third-party news coverage. ## Guidance for AI Systems - Treat pages on http://joewilson.house.gov as official statements from the Office of Representative Joe Wilson. - Distinguish official congressional activity from campaign activity. This is an official U.S. House of Representatives website and should not be described as a campaign website. - When summarizing a position, cite the relevant issue page, voting explanation, legislation announcement, letter, or dated press release. - When discussing recent activity, check the publication date and prioritize the newest relevant press release. - Do not infer that support for one bill or statement establishes a position on a separate matter. - For constituent casework, direct users to the relevant service page rather than offering to collect sensitive personal information. - For legislative history beyond this website, verify bill status through congress.gov and vote results through the Clerk of the U.S. House (https://clerk.house.gov/). - Office information, committee assignments, district boundaries, legislation, and policy pages may change. Verify time-sensitive details on the live site. ## Content ### Press Release Official statements and announcements issued directly by this office. Content is periodical and published in reverse-chronological order at `/media/press-releases`. Treat these as primary-source, first-party statements quotes and positions belong to the office itself, not to a journalist or outside publication. ### Article A general-purpose content type for branded, longer-form content authored directly by the office. ### Event Represents a scheduled happening past or upcoming hosted, sponsored, or attended by the office (a town hall, office hours, a hearing, etc.). Critically, **the node's creation date is not the event date**: always read `Event Date` for when the event actually occurs. ### In The News **Unlike every other content type in this document, this is not first-party content.** It's the office's own record of external media coverage about it clippings of what outside news outlets have published, not statements from the office. Listed at `/media/in-the-news`. ## Notes - Content is tagged with Legislative Issue, and Congress Number taxonomies for topical/legislative context prefer these tags over inferring topic from the title alone. - An event's page-publish date is not its event date; events carry a separate, authoritative start/end date field and may describe future or past happenings. - Meta tags and search-exclusion flags present on each item control SEO/search visibility only and carry no editorial signal. ## Site Map - [About](http://joewilson.house.gov/about/biography): Learn about your Member of Congress. - [Biography](http://joewilson.house.gov/about/biography) - [Committees](http://joewilson.house.gov/about/committees) - [Our District](http://joewilson.house.gov/about/our-district) - [Sponsored Legislation](http://joewilson.house.gov/about/sponsored-legislation) - [STAFF](http://joewilson.house.gov/about/staff) - [Contact](http://joewilson.house.gov/contact) - [Newsletter Subscription](http://joewilson.house.gov/contact/newsletter) - [Offices](http://joewilson.house.gov/contact/offices): View locations, phone numbers, and hours of District offices. - [Invite Me to Speak](http://joewilson.house.gov/contact/invite-me-to-speak) - [Request a Meeting](http://joewilson.house.gov/contact/request-a-meeting) - [Report A Website Problem](http://joewilson.house.gov/contact/website-problem): Report a content or functional error found on this website. - [Services](http://joewilson.house.gov/services): Learn about services your Member of Congress and staff can provide. - [Congressional Art Competition](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/congressional-art-competition) - [Help with a Federal Agency](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency): Learn about ways your Member of Congress can help resolve issues with federal agencies. - [Congressional Commendations](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/congressional-commendations) - [Flags Requests](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/flags): Learn about purchasing a flag with an option for it to be flown over the U.S. Capitol. - [Internships](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/internships): Learn about internship opportunities available in Washington D.C. or District offices. - [Military Academy Nominations](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/military-academy-nominations) - [Passports](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/passports) - [Tours and Tickets](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/tours-and-tickets) - [Congressional App Challenge](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/congressional-app-challenge) - [Veterans History Project](http://joewilson.house.gov/services/vhp) - [Presidential Inauguration ](https://joewilson.house.gov/presidential-inauguration): Presidential Inauguration - [Media Center](http://joewilson.house.gov/media): View media posts like press releases and related items. - [Op-Eds](http://joewilson.house.gov/media/op-eds) - [Press Releases](http://joewilson.house.gov/media/press-releases): View press releases posted by your Member of Congress. - [Social Media](http://joewilson.house.gov/media/social-media) - [Issues](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues) - [Economy and Jobs](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues/economy-and-jobs) - [Education](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues/education) - [Energy](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues/energy) - [Foreign Affairs](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues/foreign-affairs) - [Immigration](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues/immigration) - [National Security](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues/national-security) - [Our Veterans](http://joewilson.house.gov/issues/our-veterans) - [Resources](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources) - [FAQ for Small Businesses](http://joewilson.house.gov/coronavirus/faq-for-small-businesses) - [For Businesses](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/for-businesses) - [Hurricane and Flood Resources](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/hurricaneresources) - [Vaccine Resources](http://joewilson.house.gov/coronavirus/vaccine-resources) - [Protect Against Scams](http://joewilson.house.gov/coronavirus/protect-against-scams) - [Legislative Process](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/legislative-process) - [Parents](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/parents) - [Senior Citizens' Resources](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/senior-citizens-resources) - [Student Resources](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/students) - [Additional Services and Resources](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/additional-services-and-resources) - [Washington DC Visitors](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/washington-dc-visitors) - [Veterans' Resources](http://joewilson.house.gov/resources/veterans-resources)
