Congrats to the brotha. From WCBD TV (South Carolina), about the newly elected conservative Republican: "In one of their first acts as a Class, the 80-plus newly elected Republican Members of Congress selected Tim Scott as one of their two representatives to the Elected Leadership Committee (E.L.C.). The Committee is a small group comprising the leadership of the House Republican Conference which meets weekly to plan policy and set the agenda for Congress."
More: "Kristi Noem of South Dakota was the other freshman selected for the Committee. The decision to include two freshmen on the influential committee was made in deference to the size and distinct conservative agenda of the incoming class.'
His response to the news? “'I am very honored to have been chosen by my classmates to represent them at the leadership table,' said Tim Scott. 'I am looking forward to working with leadership to ensure that the central goals of our Class - fiscal responsibility, limited government, spending cuts, and a responsible and transparent Congress - remain front and center in the new Congress. I also hope that I will be able to use my position on this Committee to grow the economy, enabling the private sector to create jobs, both in South Carolina, and throughout the country.'"
