Scott leads hearing to advance the “American Dream”

A hearing to increase opportunity and diversity for entrepreneurs and investors featured opening remarks by South Carolina’s junior U-S senator, Tim Scott.  He was speaking in his capacity as the ranking member of the committee on Securities and Exchange Commission, Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.  Scott and fellow committee members asked witnesses about structural challenges that rural, women, low-and-moderate-income, military veteran, and minority business founders, investors, and workers face in accessing capital formation, investment, and employment opportunities.
