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.

  • South Carolina Department of Education 1100 Gervais Street 1429 Senate Street Columbia, SC 29201 Columbia, SC 29201
    April 13, 2021 The Honorable Henry McMaster Superintendent Molly Spearman Governor of South Carolina Department of Education 1100 Gervais Street 1429 Senate Street Columbia, SC 29201 Columbia, SC 29201 Dear Governor McMaster and Superintendent Spearman, As President and CEO of the Southern Education Foundation (SEF), a 154-year-old civil rights and education advocacy organization, I am writing to encourage you to use South Carolina’s share of K-12 relief funding under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) toward the advancement and improvement of public schools in the state. As you know, South Carolina will receive $2.11 billion in the third iteration of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSERF III) from the ARPA to directly support and bolster public education in the state.i Out of this amount, at least $1.9 billion must be distributed to local educational agencies (LEAs), and the state can reserve a maximum of $211 million for its own use. As a part of its total ESSERF III allocation, South Carolina is also receiving over $105 million to specifically address lost instructional time, $21 million to institute and bolster summer enrichment programs, and another $21 million for afterschool programs.ii In addition, South Carolina will receive a share of the $7.2 billion for broadband expansion from the ARPA and $3.9 billion of the $360 billioniii in state and local funding in the ARPA. This historic infusion of federal funding provides new opportunities to update school infrastructure in low-wealth rural and urban school districts, recruit and retain a high-quality teacher workforce, and implement the recommendations included in this letter.

  • South Carolina's 2016 Transportation Funding Bond Measure
    South Carolina’s 2016 Transportation Funding Bond Measure Title of Bill: South Carolina S.1258 Result: Signed into law by Governor Nikki Haley (R) on June 8, 2016 Purpose: South Carolina lawmakers created short-term transportation funding legislation that utilizes over $200 million in existing fees to borrow approximately $2.2 billion to fund major interstate and bridge projects over the next decade. This bill also gives the Governor much more influence in the selection of members to the Commission of the Department of Transportation, which provides regulatory oversight to the use of transportation revenues included in this legislation. History South Carolina Transportation Revenue South Carolina’s transportation budget for the Fiscal Year 2015-16 totaled approximately $1.62 billion. These revenues came from a variety of streams at the state, local, and federal leveli: Federal Reimbursement under the FAST Act and fund matching generated $902 million, or about 56 percent of total transportation revenue. South Carolina’s motor fuel excise tax (which is 16 cents per gallon for both gasoline and dieselii) generated $456 million, or about 28 percent of total transportation revenue. o $351 million of this tax was generated from gasoline revenue, and $105 million was generated from diesel revenue, indicating 22 percent and 6 percent revenue contributions respectively.
