Senator Tim Scott, representing South Carolina, shared a series of posts on August 21 and 22, 2025, highlighting the legacy of Dr. James Dobson and expressing support for the Irmo Little League team competing in the Little League World Series.
On August 21, Scott commemorated Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, with the message: “Dr. James Dobson leaves behind a legacy of faith and a life well-lived. Through Focus on the Family, he helped countless families stay grounded in a world of changing values. His influence will continue to shape lives and strengthen families for generations to come.”
Later that day, Scott celebrated South Carolina’s Irmo Little League team as they prepared for their next game in the national tournament. He posted: “South Carolina sure is proud of the Irmo Little League team. We’re cheering you on as you face your next game at the @LittleLeague World Series tonight. Let’s go!!” On August 22, he followed up with further praise: “Proud of the Irmo Little League team and how hard they’ve worked to get this far. You’ve shown heart and grit, and represented South Carolina well every step of the way!”
Dr. James Dobson was an influential Christian psychologist who founded Focus on the Family in 1977 to promote family-oriented advice rooted in evangelical values. The organization has played a significant role in American social policy debates over several decades.
The Irmo Little League team’s participation in the Little League World Series marks a notable achievement for youth sports in South Carolina, drawing statewide attention and support from figures like Senator Scott.
