Married for 45 wonderful years w/ 4 adult children + 17(!) grandchildren. I represent SC’s 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Personal account.
In the time that I have known Steve King, I have witnessed his kindness and compassion regardless of a person’s race or faith. He has been a strong conservative advocate for his constituents.
It’s a little chilly here in Iowa but that’s okay. I’m all over the Hawkeye State this weekend campaigning for my good friend,
@NikkiHaley
, ahead of Monday’s caucuses. Let’s go!!
So thankful to be back at the S.C. State House where it all began. 🌙🌴
South Carolina, you took a chance on me not just once, but twice. Together, let's make it 3 times!
We have a country to save—let's do this! 🇺🇸
This is probably no surprise for many of you. I’m thrilled to be in Charleston this morning to throw my support behind Nikki Haley for President in 2024!(1/3)
ICYMI: I had the honor of introducing Nikki Haley at her campaign kickoff last week. It’s time for a reset and a new chapter in national Republican politics, and there’s no better person to help write that new chapter than our former governor and my good friend,
@NikkiHaley

What an incredible evening! Over 1000 supporters packed a sold-out venue last night to help kick off my 2020 campaign.
@NikkiHaley
was amazing and I'm so grateful for her support.
To everyone who attended, and hundreds of other who couldn't but sent their best wishes, thank you!
Leaders get things done. They solve problems. And more importantly, they tackle those problems — like the debt ceiling — with the bests interests of the American public at heart.
You saw her shine at the debate in Milwaukee last week, and she absolutely packed the house at her town hall earlier today. It was an honor to introduce
@NikkiHaley
in Indian Land and see hundreds of her supporters!
My opponent apparently thinks sexual assault is a joke. It is not. But I guess that’s the best we can expect from someone who pulled a loaded gun on his own constituents.
I'm looking forward to being with
@NikkiHaley
this Friday evening at Indian Land High School in Lancaster County! Tickets are going fast! Get yours here👇!!
Thrilled to be on the campaign trail today with

It’s time for a reset and a new chapter in national Republican politics, and there’s no better person to help write that new chapter than our former governor and my good friend, Nikki Haley! 🇺🇸

Filed! I just completed the paperwork in Columbia to run for re-election. SC-5 voters have trusted me to take conservative South Carolina values to Congress. That's exactly what I've done, and exactly what I'll keep doing.
Let's go!!
South Carolina, we've accomplished so much together and we're just getting started!
Thank you to everyone who spent their afternoon in Boiling Springs with us—we promise to make you proud.
See everyone in North Charleston tomorrow! 🌙 🌴
1 of 3: My comments earlier today were meant to add a bit of levity to a very serious debate between me and my Democrat opponent and to point to the circus-like atmosphere that Washington DC has become. People really need to learn to lighten up.
We are at a pivotal point in our nation. While the Republican candidates, values, and messages have done very well here in South Carolina, that hasn’t been the case everywhere across our great nation (2/3)
We oversold our original location at Winthrop University. And early this morning, we reach capacity and SOLD OUT of the larger venue.
Honored to have such an overwhelming show of support for my campaign, and can't wait to see many of you this evening!
To my family, friends and supporters, thank you all. None of this would have been possible with your help and encouragement, and this victory is as much mine as it is yours. So tonight, we celebrate.
But tomorrow… together… our work begins again.
It seems like when you're growing up, you can't wait to graduate from the "kids table." Now it's one of my favorite places. (Easter dinner with 7 of our 16 grandchildren.)
3 of 3: Once again, the Democrats and the media have taken an event that was newsworthy for so many substantive reasons and are now only adding more clowns and distractions to the current circus.
For those who might not know Elaine Norman, she is my best friend and better half. Mother to four, grandmother to 16, and a great example of a loving & supportive spouse.
Oh, and TODAY IS HER BIRTHDAY!!!
For a man, one of the greatest callings God will give is that of fatherhood.
And for a child, one of the greatest blessings is a father who pours his heart and soul into that calling.
I was definitely blessed.
#HappyFathersDay
Three of my granddaughters, Laine, Lawson and Riley, are in a production of Aladdin, and I was thrilled to see their performance last night. May we never take family moments like this for granted.
#ProudGrandfather
On this important weekend, let's remember that we do not "celebrate"
#MemorialDay
. Instead, we *observe* it.
We honor those who have given their lives for our country. We pray for their families. And we thank everyone who has served in our nation's military.
Our Declaration of Independence gave birth to this great nation in 1776 and provided much of the spirit that would later be written into our Constitution. 242 years later, we still have so many reasons to celebrate.

If this is accurate, figurative hell ought to rain down on those pulling this stunt. There is NO EXCUSE or reason for this other than to silent dissent.
It's possible for leaders to be both cowardly and tyrants. This is a fitting example if true.
🚨NEW: Something is happening in the South Carolina House of Representatives that everybody needs to know about.
The Uniparty is working to silence the

While I'm happy to highlight the stark differences between the two of us in a public forum, the only debate Mr. Parnell should be concerned with now is the one raging within the Democrat Party regarding his own dishonesty and lack of transparency.

@Archie4Congress
whether physical or verbal, abuse is a cowardly attempt to manipulate others. If that's how you treat your own staff, or how you react when under the slightest bit of frustration, then I cannot imagine how you'd navigate elected office.
2 of 3: Clearly my opponent understood it that way since for the next hour we engaged in a substantive discussion about our many differences without mention of my comments.
She purchased new technology, hired more staff, and provided raises to some of her long-standing employees. That's what Melissa, a small business owner, was able to accomplish thanks to Republican tax reform.
Which my opponent **still** criticizes to this day.
Yesterday, I was honored to spend some time in the dunk tank to help raise money for the 809 Foundation. Please visit to learn more about Det. Mike Doty and how you can help "Back the Blue."
She sure will.
Anyone remotely aligned with
@NikkiHaley
's values wouldn't be running as a liberal Democrat. And any Democrat being honest with voters wouldn't be using her image to imply a quasi-endorsement.
#SC05
will see this for what it is: shameless & ill-advised.
To the men and women in blue:
Most of us will never comprehend the evil you face while protecting us. Nor can we fathom the courage and strength that your calling demands.
But you will always have our gratitude & support. May God bless every single one of you.

@NikkiHaley
ran an outstanding campaign, and I could not be prouder of her.
President Trump has earned our party’s nomination, and I will be WHOLEHEARTEDLY behind him. My full statement 👇
Our vote is our voice. If you care about the continued success of our nation, then you have an obligation to make sure your voice is heard loud and clear this election.

This disease has affected my family, and likely yours as well. I’m here at the 2018

Please help us reach today’s fundraising goal for this great organization. $5, $10 - anything you can donate will help!
Horrified by the evil acts today at the Tree Of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. Religious hatred of any kind has no place in our society.
My family and I have the victims and families in our deepest prayers. And could not be more grateful for our brave first responders.
I agree with Archie about how our founding fathers would be ashamed, which is why I voted to keep the government open.

Last night I was a guest on the Ingraham Angle, where the topics included my frustration with the omnibus spending bill, and John Bolton being tapped as President Trump's new National Security Adviser.
