Rice has earned another term

The Seventh Congressional District is most fortunate to be served by Rep. Tom Rice. As a local businessman, he is most familiar with the needs of our area and successfully navigates priorities that benefit our area.

In his two terms in Congress, Rice has secured millions in funding for projects such as beach re-nourishment, recovery aid for our farmers after last year’s historic floods, and grants to advance the Georgetown port.　

Rice serves on one of the most powerful committees in Congress, the Committee on Ways and Means. Rice is the first from South Carolina to serve on this committee in 30 years. He is uniquely positioned to be a voice on key issues for not only our district but the entire state of South Carolina.

Rice is a common-sense conservative who isn’t afraid to be a leader and propose solutions to major problems like Social Security and infrastructure investment. With so much accomplished in just two terms in office, we need to re-elect Tom Rice to Congress.
