Jim DeMint, United States Senator, South Carolina, is also chairman of the Senate Steering Committee. He understands a country’s greatness is found in its people and values, not its government. For standing up against wasteful spending in Congress and saving Americans nearly $17 billion, a Wall Street Journal editor called DeMint the “taxpayers’ greatest ally.” Furthermore, DeMint was ranked as the Senate’s most conservative member by National Journal and as the No. 1 senator voting for responsible tax and spending policies by the National Taxpayers Union. Jim and his wife, Debbie, have four children, are doting grandparents, and live in Greenville, South Carolina.
