Charleston,
SC
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
following
Congressman
Trey
Gowdy’s
(SC-04)
announcement
that
he
will
not
seek
re-election
in
2018.
“I
want
to
thank
Trey
not
just
for
his
service
to
the
Upstate,
or
his
love
for
South
Carolina,
or
his
commitment
to
justice
and
the
truth,
but
for
being
the
honest,
good
hearted
man
I
know
he
is
and
will
continue
to
be.
He
has
always
put
the
people
of
Greenville-Spartanburg
first,
despite
his
Congressional
responsibilities
grabbing
so
many
national
headlines.
I
am
so
happy
for
the
Gowdy
family,
as
I
know
they
will
be
thrilled
to
have
Trey
back
home
more
often,
and
for
Trey
because
of
everything
he
has
accomplished
in
Congress.
I
know
for
him
this
is
simply
the
end
of
one
chapter
in
a
long
book,
and
I
am
forever
grateful
for
the
friendship
we
have
forged
over
the
past
eight
years.”
