SALEM, N.H. – The super PAC supporting Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination says it will shell out $40 million to reserve TV and digital ad time that will run through January, when the first votes in the GOP primaries and caucuses are cast.
TIM PAC highlights that the spots in the ad blitz will start running on Sept. 7 in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina — which hold the first three contests in the Republican nominating calendar. The super PAC shared its announcement first on Tuesday with Fox News and a handful of other news organizations.
Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate and a rising star in the GOP, has been spotlighting an uplifting conservative message as he seeks his party’s presidential nomination. Scott formally announced his candidacy for the White House on May 22, and has been making multiple campaign stops Iowa and New Hampshire as well as in his home state.

Asked about his edging up in the poll, Scott said in Fox Digital interview ahead of his New Hampshire town hall that “people want to hear common sense and common-sense conservatism is the path to another American century. We’re excited that the enthusiasm that we’re feeling on the ground is being reflected in the latest polls.”
And he stressed that he and his campaign are going to “keep doing what we’re doing. It’s working. So we have to continue to show up. Continue to have the resources to put on TV.”
The senator, who’s also known for his fundraising prowess, entered July with a very healthy $21 million in his campaign coffers, according to his fundraising filing with the Federal Election Commission.

The group also spotlighted their grassroots outreach programs in all three early states, including a multi-touch field program conducting door-to-door canvassing, direct mail, and text messaging. The super PAC says it has nearly a dozen paid staffers and nearly 100 canvassers knocking doors in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
