“We are deeply saddened by the passing of State Senator John. L. Scott, Jr. Senator Scott represented Richland County in the state house and state senate for over 30 years. He used his voice in the General Assembly to fight not only for his district but for all South Carolinians and his life’s work on issues of education, healthcare and economic development will have a lasting impact on our state.”
Senator Scott was my state senator and I know first-hand how hard he fought for my community. His death is a tremendous loss for our Party and all of South Carolina. We extend our deepest condolences to Senator Scott’s family.”
