Since taking office, we’ve raised the minimum starting teacher salary by nearly $20,000 — now higher than both Georgia and North Carolina. This year, I’m calling for another raise to ensure South Carolina teachers continue to earn more than the Southeastern average.

South Carolina's prosperity depends on investing in our teachers. Over the past 8 years, we have raised starting teacher pay by 56%. This year, I'll work with the General Assembly to raise the minimum starting salary to $50,000 - a year ahead of my 2026 goal.

In 2022, I signed into law the largest income tax cut in state history. As a result, South Carolina taxpayers have kept an additional $1.275 billion of their hard-earned money. This year, I have again proposed cutting the personal income tax rate as much as we can, and as fast as we can. If the General Assembly can find a way to eliminate it altogether, I will sign it the second it arrives on my desk.

Educating our children is our most important duty. In the last 8 years, we’ve raised minimum starting teacher salaries by 56% – placing us higher than North Carolina and Georgia. But we can’t stop now. Let’s raise it to $50,000 this year – not next. Our future depends on it.

Agriculture has always been the backbone of our state. On National Agriculture Day, we recognize the farmers and foresters who provide food, clothing, and shelter while preserving our way of life. If you ever wondered what really is important in life, ask a farmer.

Today was yet another historic day for South Carolina! With the signing of the Scout Motors bill, we bring a $2 billion investment and 4,000 good-paying jobs to the Midlands. There is no better place than South Carolina for this iconic brand to call home.

When we raise teacher pay, we raise the quality of education. Rocky Creek Elementary teacher Jessica Owens saw firsthand how higher salaries attract more great educators to the classroom. Strong schools start with talented teachers, and raising teacher pay makes that possible.
