Tom Rice has delivered big time for Carolina Forest-Myrtle Beach area

I'm writing to thank Rep. Tom Rice for all he continues to do for his constituents.

He has gotten money to repair beaches after hurricanes and has been a major advocate for the Dillon Inland Port, which will bring thousands of jobs to some of the poorest counties in the state.

He has been the most vocal advocate for I-73 at the federal level and, thanks to him, the project is closer to completion than it's ever been.

Right now, he is helping to re-write the tax code as a member of the Ways & Means Committee.

Rice continues to deliver on his campaign promises and is a great representative for Carolina Forest and Horry County.

Herman Wood, Carolina Forest
