TIM SCOTT ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL TOWN HALL WITH SENATOR RICK SANTORUM

Congressman Tim Scott (R-SC) will host Senator Rick Santorum in the next installment of his First in the South Presidential Town Hall Series, on November 12 at 11:30 am, at the Summerville Country Club in Dorchester County. Refreshments will be served.

The Town Hall will follow the format of Scott’s previous events with Presidential candidates, allowing as many voters as possible the chance to ask Senator Santorum a question. In addition to questions from the live audience, voters can submit their questions on Facebook.

“The race for President in South Carolina is far from over,” said Congressman Scott. “Many Republican voters are just beginning to tune in, and they are looking for a leader who will articulate – and fight for – conservative values. Rick has a proven record as a conservative - in a state where it is not easy to be one - and he brings an important voice to the race for President.”

“I am excited to join Tim for the Town Hall,” said Senator Santorum. “The people of South Carolina made a tremendous decision in electing Tim Scott to Congress in 2010 and he has been a leading conservative voice from the moment he arrived in Washington. I look forward to the opportunity to join him as we discuss solving the critical issues facing South Carolina and the nation.”

The Town Hall, set to last 60 minutes, will begin at 11:30 am at the Summerville Country Club, 400 Country Club Blvd., in Summerville, South Carolina. Doors will open at 10:30 am, with seating on a first-come, first-served basis.

Senator Santorum is the fifth candidate to participate in Rep. Tim Scott’s First in the South Presidential Town Hall Series, which brings 2012 Republican presidential candidates to South Carolina for discussions with grassroots voters. Previous town halls have been held in Charleston, Berkeley, and Horry counties.

The series is cosponsored by the Berkeley County GOP, the Beaufort County GOP, the Carolina Forest GOP, the Carolina Patriots, the Charleston County GOP, the Charleston Tea Party, the Dorchester County GOP, the Georgetown County GOP, the Georgetown Patriots, the Goose Creek 9/12, the Horry County GOP, the Horry County Young Republicans, the Mount Pleasant 9/12, the Myrtle Beach Tea Party, the North Myrtle Beach GOP, the Northern Horry County GOP, the South Strand GOP, the Summerville 9/12 and the Waccamaw Neck GOP.

“Our country is ready for a new beginning,” said Congressman Scott. “Our Town Hall Series gives South Carolina voters the opportunity to actively participate in that process, and make sure we get it right – as we have done in every Presidential election since choosing Ronald Reagan in 1980.”
