While in Washington, Mark was an advocate for the taxpayer. He consistently fought for a smaller and more accountable government. He was recognized by Citizens Against Government Waste and the National Taxpayers Union as number one in the entire Congress in his efforts to limit federal spending and taxes. He mirrored these votes with actions in his own office, returning more than $1.5 million from his office account over his six years. In keeping with his belief in term limits he voluntarily stepped down from Congress to honor a personal commitment to limit his time in Washington. Prior to serving in Congress, Sanford worked in real estate finance and investment in New York and Charleston. These experiences cemented his belief that too much of what government does hampers a small businessman's ability to build investments and create jobs. As an Eagle Scout, it is not surprising that his most recent civic involvement has been acting as chairman for the Coastal Council Chapter of the Boy Scouts of America. Mark and his wife Jenny have four young sons, Marshall, Landon, Bolton and Blake. ~.9/&~A~~aaeP LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR At 33 years of age, Andre Bauer, when sworn into office, will become the nation's youngest Lieutenant Governor. Born in Charleston on March 20, 1969, Bauer was raised in Lexington County where he graduated from Irmo High School. He graduated from the University of South Carolina with a BS degree in Business. While in college, Bauer began a small sports souvenir business, which he built into one of the South's largest wholesalers and distributors of collegiate sporting merchandise. In the early '90's, he expanded his business to include real estate and investments. In 1996, Bauer was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives, where he quickly gained a reputation for hard work and tireless constituent service. He was re-elected in 1998 with the largest vote total in the state. Bauer was elected in a 1999 special election to fill a vacancy in the South Carolina State Senate with a record-breaking voter turnout and overwhelmingly re-elected in the 2000 general election. After being elected to the Senate, Bauer sold his wholesale business to devote full time to public service. The Honorable Mark Hammond SECRETARY OF STATE The Honorable The Honorable Grady L.

For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

  • 2010 Arts Advocacy Handbook
    2010 ARTS ADVOCACY HANDBOOK Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Arts January 2010 Dear Arts Leader: As we celebrate our 30th year of service to the arts, we know that “Art Works in South Carolina” – in our classrooms and in our communities. We also know that effective advocacy must take place every day! And there has never been a more important time to advocate for the arts than NOW. With drastic funding reductions to the South Carolina Arts Commission and arts education programs within the S. C. Department of Education, state arts funding has never been more in jeopardy. On February 2nd, the South Carolina Arts Alliance will host Arts Advocacy Day – a special opportunity to celebrate the arts – to gather with colleagues and legislators – and to express support for state funding of the arts and arts education! Meet us at the Statehouse, 1st floor lobby (enter at the Sumter Street side) by 11:30 AM, to pick up one of our ART WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA “hard-hats” and advocacy buttons to wear. If you already have a hat or button, please bring them! We’ll greet Legislators as they arrive on the 1st floor and 2nd floors. From the chamber galleries, you can view the arts being recognized on the House and Senate floors. You may want to “call out” your legislator to let him or her know you are at the Statehouse and plan to attend the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon. Then join arts leaders and legislators at the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Legislative Arts Caucus.

  • Haley up Big, Sheheen Narrowly in SC Governor Primaries
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 25, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Haley Up Big, Sheheen Narrowly in SC Governor Primaries Raleigh, N.C. – Polled over the weekend, before news broke of possible marital infidelity by gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley, South Carolina Republicans favor her by a wide margin over her primary opponents to replace outgoing governor Mark Sanford. Meanwhile, Jim Rex and Vincent Sheheen are in a tight battle for the Democratic nomination heading into the June 8th vote. Haley leads at 39%, with the other three contenders grappling for traction in the teens, Henry McMaster at 18, Gresham Barrett at 16, and Andre Bauer at 13. About as many, 14%, are undecided as favor the latter three. Haley and McMaster are both very well liked, with 47-13 and 43-22 favorability marks, while views on Bauer are decidedly negative, at 26-49. Barrett comes in at 28-18. Sheheen tops Rex 36 to 30, with Robert Ford at 11% and 23% still undecided. Over half of Democratic primary voters still have no opinion of Sheheen and Rex, but Sheheen is more popular, with a 31-11 favorability margin to Rex’s 29-19. Sanford still gets a 51% job approval rating among his base electorate, to 36% who disapprove. That is similar to December’s 50-34 margin among all Republican voters. Brought back to the fore with the recent comments by Kentucky Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is supported by 58% of South Carolina Republican primary voters and opposed by only 15%, with 27% unsure.

  • As Trump Restarts Rallies, GOP Strategists Hope Against All Odds That He Won't Rehash 2020 Election
    As Trump restarts rallies, GOP strategists hope against all odds that he won't rehash 2020 election The Republican Party finds itself in befuddling circumstances as former President Donald Trump prepares to hold political rallies again, beginning this weekend with an appearance in North Carolina. Trump was one of the only Republican candidates to lose a high-profile competitive race in 2020. GOP candidates won the majority of close races across the country, in the U.S. Senate, in the U.S. House and in state legislatures and gubernatorial races. Yet the party remains stuck with Trump as its standard bearer for the foreseeable future, due to his intense popularity with a vocal portion of the party. A substantial majority of Republicans also say they believe his claims that the election was stolen from him, according to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov survey, and he leads the rest of the hypothetical GOP field in some early polls for the party‟s nomination in 2024. But none of that means he is the GOP‟s best representative against a Democrat. The 2020 election would suggest the opposite. Supporters of former President Donald Trump outside Trump Tower during a rare visit he made to his New York City offices on March 8. (Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images) It‟s true that Trump won just over 74 million votes last fall, but there were millions of American voters who vote Republican but who found him so odious that they voted for Joe Biden or didn‟t vote for president at all. Those votes were a big reason why Biden got 82 million votes.

Factual Background Ms. Tenenbaum is the South Carolina State Superintendent of Education and a candidate for United States Senate. She was first elected Superintendent in 1998 and was reelected to the office in 2002. She became a candidate for United States Senate on August 19, 2003. As a candidate for South Carolina state office in the 2002 election, Ms. Tenenbaum's campaign maintained a state campaign account into which she raised funds to support her candidacy. Ms. Tenenbaum's campaign has paid all of its expenses from the 2002 election and is prepared to terminate the campaign. The account contains surplus funds that, while compliant with South Carolina law, were not raised in accordance with the contribution limits and source restrictions of the Federal Election Campaign Act (the "Act"). Ms. Tenenbaum would like to donate these funds to several organizations, both within and outside South Carolina. As she is now a federal candidate, Ms. Tenenbaum understands that the Act, as amended by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act ("BCRA"), may limit her ability to spend these funds.
