Senator Tim Scott Highlights Major Legislative Wins During July Work Period

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is concluding the July work period with significant legislative accomplishments and continued focus on advancing policies that create opportunity, foster innovation, and support American families and small businesses. 

Throughout the month, Senator Scott worked to move forward legislation addressing critical issues ranging from tax relief and financial innovation to affordable housing and workforce modernization. His approach prioritizes practical, effective solutions aimed at strengthening the economy and improving the quality of life for constituents in South Carolina and across the nation. The senator also emphasized President Trump’s efforts to secure the southern border—completing the wall with additional resources and cracking down on the flow of fentanyl entering through ports of entry. 

“This month’s progress reflects what’s possible when we stay focused on delivering results for the American people,” said Senator Scott. “From start to finish, our efforts were rooted in addressing kitchen table issues and creating opportunities for American workers and families. I’m grateful to my colleagues for their partnership in our accomplishments, and I look forward to continuing this momentum in the months ahead.”
