with

first
episode
of
“Between
Two
Chambers,”
a
series
started
by

to
show
the
House
and
Senate
working
together.
Following

the
video,
Senator
Scott
spoke

to
continue
the
conversation
on
the
necessity
of
tax

to
help
American
families

Senator
Tim
Scott
Emerges
as
GOP's
Secret
Weapon
to
Sell
Tax
Reform
to
Everyday
Voters

“Tax
reform
is
a
boring
conversation
in
and
of
itself,
so
you
have
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
sticky,”
Scott
told
Independent
Journal
Review
in
a
phone
interview
Wednesday.
“For
me,
making
it
personal
and
having
a
little
humor
are
the
two
ways
that
I
try
to
make
a
subject
stick.”
His
colleagues
agree
Scott
excels
at
both
tasks.
When
Republicans
held
a
press
conference
at
the
end
of
September
to
unveil
the
broad
contours
of
their
tax
plan,
Scott
stole
the
show
with
his
sense
of
humor
and
a
controversial
hashtag:
#KeepYoMoney.
He
told
IJR
he
came
up
with
the
hashtag
because
he
wanted
to
reach
out
to
people
who
don't
find
themselves
on
the
edge
of
their
seats
when
it
comes
to
tax
policy
debates.
[…]
At
the
heart
of
Scott's
advocacy
style
is
a
desire
to
make
the
tax
plan
applicable
and
understandable
to
individuals.
[…]
But
Scott,
a
conservative
Republican
from
the
South,
is
uniquely
positioned
for
the
task
of
messaging
the
bill.
Scott
is
a
tax
policy
enthusiast.
His
first
bill
in
the
House
of
Representatives
prior
to
his
Senate
promotion
was
a
tax
reform
bill.
It
earned
him
a
spot
on
the
Senate
Finance
Committee,
which
has
jurisdiction
over
tax
legislation.
He
is
one
of
a
few
senators
who
have
regular
meetings
to
discuss
the
issue
with
Speaker
Ryan.
What
may
matter
most
is
that
Scott
is
the
only
African-American
Republican
in
the
Senate,
which
gives
him
a
unique,
firsthand
understanding
of
a
host
of
communities
throughout
the
country
Republicans
are
struggling
to
reach.
[…]
Going
forward,
though,
you
can
expect
to
hear
a
lot
more
from
Scott
about
the
individual
impacts
of
the
GOP
tax
bill.
“[Scott]
speaks
from
his
heart
and
is
so
articulate,”
Brady
said.
“He
is
one
of
the
best
leaders
on
tax
reform
I
know.”
