When we have the second fastest job growth in the nation, it is obvious that his conservative policies are directly benefiting South Carolina's families. While I am thrilled about this progress, I will remain dedicated to decreasing taxes and eliminating excessive government regulations to ensure that jobs continue to be created in our communities."
