Tim Scott is a small business owner and public servant who is the Republican nominee for Congress in South Carolina’s First District.
Tim was born in North Charleston, and grew up in poverty with a single mother who worked 16 hour days to keep him and his brother in school. He also benefited from a mentor, a Chick-fil-A operator, who took him under his wing and guided him when he was at a very impressionable age. Both his mother and his mentor instilled in him conservative, traditional, and religious values which guide him to this day. Tim is a 1988 graduate of Charleston Southern University, earning a B.S. in Political Science.
