I live in Cullowhee, North Carolina. That’s where I teach, at Western Carolina University. That region is where my family has lived for a long time and that region is my landscape.
I was sad to leave Green Bay, and I don’t think I would have left to go anywhere but home to Carolina.
My family, like many families here in South Carolina, have faced difficult financial situations.
Increased funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program is a priority for the Bush Administration, and I am pleased that many families in North Carolina will benefit from this increase.
The dedicated men and women of the Highway Patrol work tirelessly, every day and through all the long nights of the year, to protect the people of North Carolina, and I’m grateful for their service.
I have been on shop floors. I have talked to a lot of the companies that create jobs in South Carolina and across the country. And what they want is less regulation.
Listen, I have lived the American dream, which is something that I am deeply proud of and something that I believe every child in South Carolina or across the country should have the opportunity to do.
I love The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, an Auberge Property in Bluffton, South Carolina. It’s a spectacular corner of the world, with massive old trees lined with Spanish moss, and alligators swimming in the river.
I represented the 4th District of South Carolina… from the election ’92 until election ’98. And then I was out six years and then came back for another six years between the election 2004 and the election 2010.
The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.
I was from North Carolina, so as a youngster all of my mind games about golf were always, ‘If I make this I win The Masters, if I hole this par putt I win The Masters.’ So it was a great thrill to play there.
