Citing his experience as a small business owner and his record of lowering taxes and bringing jobs to the district, over 100 local business leaders have announced their support of Republican Tim Scott for Congress. The group, which includes CEOs and top employers in the district, two former SC Commerce Secretaries, President Reagan’s Chief Economist, as well as small business owners and entrepreneurs, will advise Tim on fiscal issues and local job creation.
Anita Zucker, CEO of The InterTech Group, a global company headquartered in North Charleston, spoke on behalf of the group:
“I have worked closely with Tim Scott on economic and workforce development issues for many years and he is the man we need in Washington right now. Tim was born and raised in North Charleston and he truly understands how to create jobs in our district – through lower taxes, less government regulation, and recruiting companies, like Boeing and Southwest, while training the local workers that will fill those jobs.”
Jim Apple, CEO of Burroughs and Chapin, who is serving as Scott’s Horry County Business Chairman added the following:
“It’s time to send someone to Washington who truly understands the needs of business owners. As someone who has started businesses, managed a payroll, and reduced budgets, Tim knows that business succeeds when government gets out of the way. Tim will work to shrink government, so that we can create jobs. That’s why I’m supporting Tim Scott for Congress.”

Tim:
It does my heart good to know that the person that I backed from day one will soon become our next Congressman. (I hope you got the foreign affairs/military white paper that you asked I create? If you need any further expertise in foreign affairs once you are elected, pls feel free to call me – I am already in DC anyway) .
I just have one request, when you are in DC, just remember, we aren’t sending you there to “compromise”, but to reverse the direction (e.g., repeal health care, etc). The Democrats didn’t ‘compromise’ w/ Republicans when they wrote Obamacare in the stealth of the night in back rooms w/ locked doors to the Republicans. There’s time to show ‘openness’ to ideas – once we get rid of the corpse and start over.
God Bless and stay strong
