Sanford Endorses Scott for SC Treasurer
Gov. Mark Sanford today endorsed Charleston County Council Chairman Tim Scott in the race for state treasurer, a position that carries high stakes for the governor.
If elected, Scott — a financial services professional — would become the state’s first black constitutional office holder since Reconstruction. In addition, Gov. Sanford said that if the General Assembly opts to choose a new treasurer from within its own ranks, his endorsement would go to Sen. Greg Ryberg, R-Aiken.
