Summary[edit]

Description
English: Citizens United and Congressman Jeff Duncan are teaming up to bring grassroots activists from across South Carolina and the surrounding area to hear directly from national conservative leaders at the South Carolina Freedom Summit on Saturday, May 9, 2015. With the critically important South Carolina Primary less than a year away, the Summit will be a launch point for conservative ideas as we head towards 2016.
The Freedom Summit will focus on how we can get America back on track by focusing on our core conservative principles of pro-growth economics, social conservatism, and a strong national defense. This must-attend Summit in the Palmetto State is free to the public and will be held at the beautiful Peace Center in Greenville.
Stay tuned for further updates as we announce more nationally recognized speakers in the weeks ahead. Since the Summit is free, we encourage you to sign up early because we have a limited number of seats. Please tell your family and friends about this important grassroots event. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 9th in Greenville for the South Carolina Freedom Summit!
Timothy Eugene "Tim" Scott (born September 19, 1965) is the junior United States Senator for South Carolina. A Republican, he was appointed as senator in 2013 after South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley named him to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jim DeMint. Scott ran in a special election in 2014 for the final two years of DeMint's second term, and won the seat.
In November 2010, Scott was elected to the United States House of Representatives for South Carolina's 1st congressional district, and served from 2011 to 2013. The first Republican African-American Congressman from South Carolina since 1897, Scott, a fiscal and cultural conservative, was endorsed by Tea Party groups. He served one term in the South Carolina General Assembly (2009–2011); prior to that, he had been on the Charleston County Council from 1996 to 2008.[5][6]
Scott is one of two African Americans serving in the United States Senate, the first African-American senator from the state of South Carolina, the first Black Republican elected to the United States Senate since the defeat of Edward Brooke in 1979, and the first elected from the South since the late 19th century (specifically, since 1881, four years after the end of Reconstruction.) He is also the first African American to have been elected to both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
