Tim Scott (R): South Carolina Junior Senator




Biography

Timothy Eugene Scott was born in Charleston, South Carolina on September 19, 1965. Scott was raised in a single-parent household by his mother for much of his adolescent life, something he says went a long ways in forming the man he has since become. He received his bachelor's degree from Charleston Southern University in 1988.  After college, Scott first forayed into both insurance and real estate before moving into the political realm. Today, Scott is currently unmarried but is a devout Evangelical and influential parishioner of Seacoast Church.
