Dear friends and neighbors,
Merry Christmas from my family to yours! I wish you all health and happiness over the holidays. I wanted to send you a quick update on the past few weeks at the South Carolina House of Representatives, specifically regarding redistricting and COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Redistricting Overview
Over the past few months, we have been working to redraw the lines of the South Carolina House districts. Once a decade, the House is tasked with redrawing the lines to accommodate for population shifts as South Carolina continues to grow and change. We passed a new plan for our House districts. I look forward to connecting with the people of District 83, both new and old. You can see the proposed House district lines here: https://redistricting.schouse.gov/housepassedmaps.html
Fighting Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates
A couple weeks ago, I was extremely proud to vote to outlaw the unconstitutional COVID-19 vaccine mandates imposed on South Carolina by the federal government and Biden administration. This is a huge win in safeguarding our personal liberties and medical freedom.
We worked long into the evening to pass a bill that protects both businesses and the hard-working people of South Carolina. Under this, public entities can not mandate a COVID-19 vaccine, and private employers must honor religious and medical exemptions.
I fought for this legislation because it honors and protects the rights of all South Carolinians, including private business owners, first responders, local governments, school districts, and employees. I am proud of what we accomplished this week, and I will continue to fight any and all federal overreach in South Carolina. The bill now resides in the Senate.
I’m at your service!
It is my honor to be of service to you and to serve District 83. If you need assistance navigating state government, or have any thoughts or concerns about what we are doing, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Sincerely,
Bill Hixon
District 83 – SC House of Representatives
