Senator Timothy Eugene Scott was born on September 19, 1965 in North Charleston, South Carolina.
The businessman and politician is the only African American senator from the Republican Party and one of 11 African Americans to serve in the US Senate since 1870.
Scott grew up “in a poor, single-parent household,” according to his Senate biography, with a mother who worked long hours as a nursing assistant.
He worked his way up through county and state politics before being elected to the House of Representatives in 2010.
In 2013, he was appointed to the Senate by then-South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley after incumbent Senator Jim DeMint resigned.
He won the 2014 and 2016 elections, and during his eight years in the Senate he has demonstrated a willingness to address racial issues while advancing conservative causes.
Scott owns an insurance agency, Tim Scott Allstate, and is a partner in Pathway Real Estate Group, LLC.
His estimated net worth is said to be around $200,000, according to CelebrityNetWorth.
