Getting Political with Jonah Steppe (NHS)
Meet Tommy
His father was a sheriff, his mother was a school teacher and Tommy Pope was destined to continue their careers in public service. After graduating from Rock Hill High School, Tommy pursued a degree in Business Management at the University of South Carolina. As a freshman, Tommy began working at the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) as a “phone boy” — literally, the boy who answered the phones. Throughout his undergraduate years, in addition to his phone boy duties, Tommy ran the blood hounds, cut down marijuana fields and apprehended criminals. By the time he graduated from Carolina in 1984, he had “blue lights in his blood" and soon became a full time agent at SLED.
There is no better display of faith than a farmer planting seeds in the ground. Each year brings challenges - weather, markets, equipment breakdowns - but our farmers still plant. With each crop, SC farmers are cultivating a legacy to pass down to the next generation.

The Army has identified the 9 US soldiers killed in an aviation training accident on Wednesday evening.
A tragic loss. Praying for healing and comfort for their loved ones.
After a week of furlough it was nice to be back at the State House! This week I wanted to introduce you to Brandon Guffey, SC House Rep for District 48 (York County), who is working hard to pass a bill related to online extortion. https://vid.us/9olihq
