Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter highlights a few big wins this week at the State House.
We’ll keep fighting to make life more affordable for working families. Stay tuned!
Democrats worked hard to pass a state budget that invests in the people of South Carolina.
✅ Raised pay for state employees + teachers
✅ Invested in infrastructure like roads, water + sewer
✅ Stopped radical attempts to defund public schools + state agencies
🚨 H. 4216 Republican Tax Raise 🚨
Republicans just voted to raise state income taxes for thousands of South Carolinians.
Democrats support lowering taxes, but not at the expense of raising taxes on working families.
Defund Clemson? Republican extremists tried to cut funding for public colleges like Clemson and the College of Charleston today.
Their amendments were rejected — but the fight to keep our schools open and lower tuition costs continues.
It’s House Budget Week and that means Democrats are fighting for investments that will make meaningful impacts in the lives of South Carolinians.

Reps. Wendell Jones, Chandra Dillard & Hamilton Grant set the record straight ➡️
The House passed the anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion bill by a vote of 32 to 82.
Republicans just filed an amendment, completely rewriting their bill at the end of the diversity, equity, and inclusion debate.
This means the new bill received no public testimony, no discussion in committee, and just 6 minutes of debate on the floor.
