The resolution to raise the debt ceiling passed along party lines, 219-206. No Republicans voted for it.

Failure to pass would have shut down the govt. -- a reason some Senate Rs crossed over -- but this is largely a statement on the national debt by Rs against Dem spending.
Other SC Representatives are putting out short statements, threading here:

The state's lone Democrat has already made his thoughts pretty clear. Sept. 19: Image

Made a few formatting mistakes, let's try this again.

OCTOBER FUNDRAISING:

@LindseyGrahamSC raised $1.3m this quarter (spent a little over $1m) and has just under $12.9m on-hand.

@votetimscott: $9.6m this quarter, $14.4m on-hand. 42% of his total fundraising came this Q.
Congressional incumbents
@TeamJoeWilson: $103k/$144k
@VoteTimmons: $93k/$96k
@RalphNorman: $195k/$397k
@Duncan4Congress: $280k/$506k

Candidates

Allen is taking on @TomRiceSC7, who raised $401k this quarter and has $1.85m on hand. However, Allen spent about $160k more than he raised this Q.

Ken Richardson, another candidate, raised $44k from 31 donors and has $116k on-hand, but is carrying $100k in debts to himself.

Another anti-Biden vaccine mandate rally planned at the statehouse this Saturday.

This comes almost one month to the day of a similar rally on the Capitol steps that drew roughly 400 people, according to organizers. ImageImage
Rep. Stewart Jones spoke at the last one. He posted this yesterday saying a small group of lawmakers are pushing for an emergency session to apparently preempt the federal orders.

Other states are looking at something similar, I know Wyoming is, while TN and KY already have. Image
Arkansas did back in August, and Connecticut's governor called for one as well, albeit on the opposite side of the issue. Interesting times.

Outside of the Capitol for a @SCforEd vigil commemorating student lives lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dozens of luminaries on steps.

Was supposed to be a rally aligned with the start of a special legislative session for redistricting today, but was called off by leadership. Image
The S. Carolina Legislature has passed legislation restricting the use of state money to enforce mask mandates and limits on how many students can learn virtually.
Brenda Murphy, state leader of the NAACP, is speaking now.

"If it was not for you, we would be in more of a crisis than we currently are," she said.

"As long as government is not, speak up for us," she added. Said some teachers are fearful they could lose their jobs.

There's a handful of medical professionals testifying before Joint Labor/Health this morning opposing vaccine mandates at Banner Health. Says it's created an environment of "tension and hostility."

Group includes an anesthesiologist, an ICU nurse, and a children's dentist.
Said professionals say mandates and ensuing climate are causing "serious psychological and emotional distress" among unvaccinated staff. Could exacerbate staffing crisis.

"Why would we exclude highly qualified individuals from the workforce?"

Live:

Sen. Lynn Hutchings said she would do whatever she could to help their cause. Rep. Bob Wharff, who has downplayed COVID and called it a "man-made" virus on social media, told them to "call their bluff."

Wyo lawmakers just approved an amendment to draft legislation that would create something similar to a hate crime bill in the state.

We currently lack one. This would create a felony offense, but no penalties in excess of what's on the books otherwise. wyoleg.gov/InterimCommitt…
Right now @itsmikeyin is running an amendment to the language to add gender, sexual orientation and gender identity into the amendment, bringing Wyoming's language in-line with federal language.
@itsmikeyin And... that motion failed.

Looks like Chuck is done.

Strange this somehow hasn't made it into my inbox yet... 🤔
Interesting campaign for Gray. In addition to the WY House Freedom Caucus, endorsements also included right wing politicians like Paul Gosar, conspiracy theorists like Lin Wood.

Also, his father, who spent more than $100k in support of his campaign. wyofile.com/pac-backing-ch…
He also failed to get much momentum with fundraisers. Here's my story from Q2. wyofile.com/cheney-sets-fu…

Protecting Wyoming Values is his father's PAC, by the way.

We won't know if his campaign saw any improvement until Oct. 15, when the Q3 reports are due. Image
