Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union, urged South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to replace outgoing Sen. Jim DeMint with Rep. Tim Scott, in a statement released Monday.
“On behalf of the American Conservative Union, I urge South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to make history and appoint Representative Tim Scott to the United States Senate. A strong conservative leader, Rep. Scott has an ACU rating of 96 and was elected as one of two members chosen by his colleagues to represent the 85 member Republican freshmen class at the leadership table.”
