Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
was
sworn-in
to
his
first
full
term
in
the
United
States
Senate
this
afternoon
in
a
ceremony
on
the
Senator
floor.
Scott
will
roll
out
his
Opportunity
Agenda
in
the
coming
weeks,
introducing
legislation
to
ensure
every
American
family
has
the
opportunity
to
succeed.
“It
is
an
amazing
honor
to
serve
the
people
of
South
Carolina
in
the
U.S.
Senate,
and
in
this
new
term
I
will
continue
working
every
day
to
make
sure
that
every
family
in
every
zip
code
has
the
chance
to
prosper.
I
look
forward
to
introducing
my
Opportunity
Agenda,
which
is
powered
by
my
belief
that
education,
job
skills
and
community
investment
are
the
foundations
of
success.
I
am
committed
to
listening
to
my
bosses
at
home
in
South
Carolina,
and
bringing
their
ideas
to
Washington.
We
must
all
work
together
to
move
our
nation
forward,
and
to
restore
the
American
Dream
in
communities
where
hope
has
been
lost
for
far
too
long.
On
this
humbling
day,
I
also
want
to
thank
my
mom,
my
brother
and
my
entire
family
for
their
belief
and
support
over
the
years.
It
is
through
the
love
of
my
family
and
friends
and
the
awesome
support
from
the
people
of
South
Carolina
that
I
am
here
today.”
Senator
Scott
will
keep
his
same
committee
assignments
for
the
115th
Congress,
which
are
as
follows:
- Banking,
Housing
and
Urban
Affairs
- Finance
- Health,
Education,
Labor
and
Pensions
- Small
Business
and
Entrepreneurship
- Special
Committee
on
Aging

Scott
