The Right Man at the Right Time
Here is why we need Tim Scott representing the 1st District of South Carolina in the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC.
Tim Scott is both a fiscal and social conservative deeply committed to simple principles:
o low taxes
o reduced spending throughout all layers of government
o higher standards for government officials
o strong leadership
o state’s rights
He brings 15 years of experience as an elected official when in that time; he NEVER voted to raise taxes. Tax increases are simply not in his DNA.
Once elected to the SC House of Representatives, Tim was elected to serve as Chairman of the Freshman Caucus and as a House Whip. His focus has and always will be simple… to stop out-of-control spending! Tim’s goal is to make government accountable to you, the voters and to slow the growth of it and make it more effective.
Tim Scott has been appalled by the growth of the federal government during the past few years and especially recently. “We can not afford them to continue to spend this way. And since January, this new administration has broken records for spending. This can not go on.”
Tim will take his experience and determination to Washington for the voters of the 1st district. He believes that putting a halt to the out-of-control spending starts with Republicans and it WILL start with Tim Scott.
Called a Pioneer
Tim Scott is commonly called a “pioneer” because he was the first and only black Republican elected to the South Carolina House since Reconstruction, and before that, back in 1995, he was the first black elected to a county-wide office in Charleston, SC All this is true, but if you ask Tim Scott about all of these “firsts,” he will tell you he simply sees himself as someone who believes passionately in America and the opportunities afforded to EVERY citizen through true freedom and democracy.
Tim’s Background
In spite of being the son of a phenomenal single mother, Tim Scott found himself struggling as a youngster and heading towards failing out of school. He grew in wisdom to see the opportunities every American has simply by being American, the blessings of liberty and the power of a purpose-driven life. These principles helped Tim reach his goals and succeed well beyond his initial expectations.
He is a successful businessman and the owner of an insurance agency and a real estate company. He knows how to tighten his belt during tough times and to be thankful during the good times. He believes Government should be no different.
As a successful business owner, Tim Scott understands the bottom line and the necessary mechanisms that must be in place to make payroll and provide for his workforce. We need more of THIS type of experience in Washington now!
Community Involvement
Tim Scott currently represents District No. 117, Berkeley & Charleston Counties, in the SC House of Representatives. He diligently served on the Charleston County Council for 13 years and was Chairman of the Council from 2007-2008.
