Earlier this week, Heritage Action announced 29 Members of Congress have achieved “Sentinel Status” during the 112th Congress by scoring a 90% or above on their comprehensive legislative scorecard.  Mulvaney was one of 23 Members of the House achieving Sentinel Status and did so by scoring 95% on the Heritage Action Scorecard.  To view the scorecard in its entirety, click here.  Rep. Mulvaney released the following statement regarding this announcement:
“I am very proud and honored to have been named a Congressional Sentinel by Heritage Action.  I have and will continue to work hard to promote conservative values as a Member of Congress.  It’s an honor and a privilege to serve the Fifth District of South Carolina.”

I can promise you that I will continue to vote the way I’ve said I would. Regardless of how the national races fared, my constituents – you – have re-elected me to continue what I’ve started. My number one priority will continue to be jobs. We have to get our debt under control if we have any hope of averting the fiscal crisis that is crippling our economy. There is much to do in the coming months – the expiring Bush/Obama tax cuts and sequestration being at the top of the list.

In the next two years, I will work tirelessly to keep you informed of what’s going on in Washington. I will continue to hold town hall meetings around the Fifth District with the hopes of talking to as many of you as I can. My job is to have the courage to tell you the truth about the issues our country is facing, and I promise to do just that.

Again, I thank you for everything you have done to help my campaign. I look forward to representing you in the next two years.

As many of you know, the Fifth District of South Carolina has changed quite a bit as a result of redistricting. The new Fifth Congressional District now includes Union County in its entirety, more of Sumter County, and a portion of Spartanburg County. I am looking forward to representing these new areas of South Carolina and I will be hosting two “Meet the Candidate” Town Halls – one in Union and one in Spartanburg – for folks to meet me, ask questions, and allow me to hear their concerns. The details of the town hall meetings are below. Please forward this information to family and friends that may live in these areas.
