Friend,
I’m sure you’re familiar with U.S. Senator Tim Scott – a truly outstanding conservative leader hailing from the great state of South Carolina.
There was a great interview with Senator Scott published in The Wall Street Journal last week. I finally had a chance to read it, and I wanted to share it with you.
Tim Scott is the first black Republican senator since 1979, and the first elected from the South since 1875. He’s also the only African-American, of any party, to ever serve in both chambers of Congress.
He’s currently leading the Republican police-reform effort in the U.S. Senate, called the JUSTICE Act. Our U.S. Senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, are both proud co-sponsors.
The Democrats, predictably, have launched a barrage of attacks against the legislation and against Senator Scott.
You may have seen the story last week regarding far-left liberal U.S. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois... who described the bill as a “token” approach.
He couldn’t be more wrong, or more insulting to Senator Scott.
I applaud the Senator for his fearless and determined leadership on this legislation. Our Republican senators have put together a package of common-sense reforms that will lead to better policing, increased accountability, necessary criminal justice reform, and greater trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
Through the course of this interview, Senator Scott touches on the Durbin controversy, how his Christian faith inspires his drive to reform law enforcement, his take on the Black Lives Matter movement, and much more.
He also shares a great deal about his own life story. It’s an inspiring look at where he came from, and how his family and faith shaped the man he is today.
He’s lived the American Dream, and is determined to ensure that EVERY American has the same opportunity.
Senator Scott is delivering a powerful message during this difficult time, and it’s important that we all help share it.
Sincerely,
Governor Brian Kemp
