Opinion: Tim Scott is a serious, decent option
Scott grew up poor in North Charleston to a single mom whose strong guidance steered him in the right direction, along with the help of a conservative mentor. Scott failed four classes as a high-school freshman — his life could have gone very differently without their help.
I remember Scott telling his story eight years ago when I was a reporter covering the U.S. Senate for CQ Roll Call. He called it “cotton to Congress,” citing his family’s journey from his third-grade-dropout grandfather picking cotton to Scott becoming a U.S. senator. Scott’s consistently been one of the most conservative members of Congress since being elected to the House in 2010 the congressional tracking website Govtrack ranks Scott as the ninth most conservative.
When I first met Scott he was working on a bipartisan criminal justice reform package, finding common cause with Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey.
