Expand all | Collapse all

Daryl Scott was born and raised in Conway, SC. Growing up, he was no stranger to hardship as he was born into a single-parent household on welfare. His mother worked as cleaning staff at a hotel in Myrtle Beach when the area was just developing. Like many other black workers in the community, she was paid under the table. Daryl grew up during the peak of the Civil Rights Movement. His class of students was the second class to experience integration and in his 2nd grade year, he transitioned into a fully integrated elementary school. While Daryl’s early years were filled with much financial and social instability, he credits his community in Conway as the village that supported him and his family and shaped him into the person he is today.


He is a proud graduate of Conway High School, where he participated in NJROTC, Future Farmers of America, and played soccer as well as competing in track and field. Upon graduating high school, he enlisted in the South Carolina Army National Guard. While in the National Guard, Daryl received a scholarship to help fund his education and chose to attend Morris College. There, he began his active duty military career, ascended to the rank of Sergeant in the National Guard, then 2nd Lieutenant in the Armor Corps, and on May 24, 1988, he received his commission. Now Major Scott has served a combined total of 24 years in the South Carolina National Guard, Active Army, and the Army Guard Reserve.
  • “Duty — Honor — Country” Those three words were permanently etched into my mind. I remember consciously feeling the weight of the significance and meaning. I find it interesting how some life experiences are deeply captured in one’s memory while others are quickly forgotten. In the chaotic times we live in, those three simple, bold, words have frequently resurfaced. It’s led me to a sobering realization — America is being fundamentally changed right in front of our eyes — while no politician is dutifully honoring the freedoms of the people they are sworn to protect.
  • It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us.
  • We need to protect women rights. The court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health effectively overturned the precedent set by the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which affirmed that a woman has a right to seek an abortion up until the point that the fetus could be "viable" outside of the uterus. It opened the way for states to enact many laws that were previously tied up in court, and to pass new ones.
Living Wages and security both domestic and foreign. These issues include climate-related risk; environmental, social and corporate governance matters; consumer protection; racial equity and financial inclusion; and executive accountability and conduct
