                  SOUTH CAROLINA LEADERSHIP MEANS JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, the wallets of South 
Carolinians and all Americans have been negatively affected by the 
destructive decisions of Biden and the Democrat-led Congress destroying 
jobs.
  However, through the leadership of Governor Henry McMaster, with the 
largest Republican supermajority in South Carolina in 150 years, South 
Carolina has achieved a record surplus of over $3.5 billion in 
unexpected revenue for the year.
  Last week, in the State of the State Address by Governor McMaster, he 
stated that 2022 was the most successful year for economic growth in 
our State's history.
  The Governor announced 12 projects valued at over $10 billion 
creating 14,000 new jobs. Governor Jim Edwards recruited Michelin, 
Governor Carroll Campbell recruited BMW, Governor David Beasley 
promoted workfare programs, and Governor Nikki Haley saved Boeing.
  South Carolina remains a shining example for America.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
  Our support is for our appreciated ally Turkey, which has been so 
devastated by the earthquake.
