Tim Scott, a state representative running for an open House seat in South Carolina, was endorsed by Sarah Palin on Saturday. On Tuesday, Scott will face Paul Thurmond (son of Strom) in a run-off primary election. Last week, Scott was endorsed by Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the House GOP whip, and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.), the NRCC’s recruitment chairmen. Karl Rove and Sen. Jim DeMint (R., S.C.) are also fans.

Palin’s take:

Tim has a remarkable success story. He grew up in poverty and was raised by a single-mom who struggled to provide. With help from a mentor and his brave mom, Tim learned to appreciate the value of hard work and American opportunity. He went on to become a business owner and has served in public office with integrity on the county and state level.
Tim is a pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-development, Commonsense Conservative who’s been endorsed by the Club for Growth because of his solid commitment to the principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility.
