Sarah Palin endorses Tim Scott in SC-01

*
On Facebook Saturday, Sarah Palin endorsed Tim Scott in the GOP primary runoff for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District:

Tim Scott for South Carolina’s 1st District

I’m very proud to add my support to Tim Scott’s campaign to represent South Carolina’s 1st congressional district. Tim has a remarkable success story. He grew up in poverty and was raised by a single-mom who struggled to provide. With help from a mentor and his brave mom, Tim learned to appreciate the value of hard work and American opportunity. He went on to become a business owner and has served in public office with integrity on the county and state level.

Tim is a pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-development, Commonsense Conservative who’s been endorsed by the Club for Growth because of his solid commitment to the principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility.

He will represent the Palmetto State with distinction in DC, so I encourage you to vote for Tim in his run-off election next Tuesday, June 22nd. Please visit Tim’s website at www.votetimscott.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Scott, a state representative, faces Charleston County Commissioner Paul Thurmond, son of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, in the run-off. The winner will battle Democrat Ben Frasier, Jr. in the general election.
