Opportunity Agenda in South Carolina

Press Release

Over the past year, Senator Scott has visited schools, churches, festivals, juvenile detention centers, businesses--over 140 stops in total--all to hear more about the lives and goals of South Carolinians. Invariably, he's heard themes of wanting to work, people improving their own lives, and seeking a hand up, not a handout.

This past weekend, he helped sweep the floors and prepare food at a restaurant in North Charleston. Senator Scott heard familiar stories of hard-working Americans who were doing what they needed to do to support their families, work their way through school, and earn the money that would help them to move ahead in life.

Americans have been forging their own paths ahead since the founding of our great nation, and through education and economic freedom, Senator Scott's goal is to make the success of the American Dream available for anyone who will work hard to claim it. In our view, the best way for government to position Americans to succeed is to create opportunity, and then get out of the way.

Senator Scott's Opportunity Agenda will aim to do just that.
