June 17, 2010

Little Rock, AR – Governor Mike Huckabee issued the following statement about Tim Scott:

“Tim Scott deeply believes in what makes America and certainly South Carolina great – faith, family and freedom. Both a fiscal and social conservative, Tim is devoted to the key conservative ideals of: low taxes, reduced spending and less government intrusion.

Tim will fight for the traditional conservative family values of marriage between one man and one woman, and for the sanctity of life – from the moment of conception to its natural conclusion. Also, as an advocate for the second amendment, Tim will work hard to preserve our right to keep and bare arms.

Tim Scott is a strong supporter of the South Carolina Fair Tax, which will simplify the tax code, giving South Carolina a distinct advantage in enticing new business. With soaring unemployment Tim has proven he knows how to jumpstart the economy – he was instrumental in bringing more than 20,000 new jobs to South Carolina while Chairman of the Charleston County Council and the Economic Development Committee.

Tim Scott will represent the values of South Carolina, and will help put an end to the liberal agenda threatening to cripple our economy – he’s got the consistent conservative credentials to do it.

I hope you will join me in supporting Tim Scott. Let’s send him to Congress.”
