General Assembly "Chamber and Al l-School Choirs Conducted by Dr. Ryan Hebert ~.Y~~ A~udff W~n&U Y~ac% GovERNOR oF THE STATE oF SouTH CAROLINA Mark Sanford was elected as South Carolina's 115th governor in 2002 and re-elected in 2006, becoming only the third two-term governor in state history. His administration has been marked by a focus on improving people's lives. By creating more economic opportunity, by watching out for the taxpayer, by working to reform government structure, by opening up South Carolina's political system, and by bettering quality of life in the state, South Carolina is becoming more competitive in the global economy and other important changes have begun to take place in our state. Governor Sanford's adopted budget proposals have saved tens of millions of dollars. In 2003, South Carolina was in a $1 billion financial hole, but through the governor's push for fiscal responsibility was able to start the 2007 budget process in the black for the first time in 16 years. Under Governor Sanford's leadership, South Carolina passed comprehensive tort reform and cut the marginal income tax rate- both firsts in state history. At the end of 2006, there were 150,000 more people working than there were when Governor Sanford took office- a 15-year record for employment growth. The DMV was brought into the governor's Cabinet, and reforms there have reduced wait times by 66 percent. The landmark campaign finance reform and Commerce disclosure reform bills signed by Governor Sanford have brought much needed sunlight and accountability to state government, and, for the first time ever, campaign disclosure reports are now available online. The governor has held monthly "Open Door After 4" meetings in his office, where anyone from anywhere in the state can come by for a visit. The state passed the first-of-its-kind charter school legislation to allow more parents more choices in where their children attend school. As well, more land has been set aside during his governorship than under any other in South Carolina history. Further restructuring of South Carolina's antiquated system of government continues to be one of his top priorities in his efforts to bring accountable and cost-effective government to the state. Prior to being elected governor in 2002, Governor Sanford lived on the South Carolina coast with his wife, Jenny, and their four sons, Marshall, Landon, Bolton and Blake. Governor Sanford served six years in the U.S. Congress prior to his election as governor, and had no prior political experience before being elected to Congress in 1994. During his time in Washington, Governor Sanford was a tireless advocate for the taxpayer. For his consistent efforts to lower taxes and limit government growth he was ranked #1 in the entire Congress by Citizens Against Government Waste. He was rated similarly by the National Taxpayers' Union, and Taxpayers for Common Sense inducted him into the Taxpayer Hall of Fame. In his own Congressional office, he backed his voting record with personal action - returning over $200,000 (almost a third of his total office budget) each year to the taxpayers. Governor Sanford learned the themes of hard work and frugality with two brothers and a sister on their family farm near Beaufort. He graduated from high school in Beaufort before attending Furman University in Greenville, where he received a B.A. in business. He later received an M.B.A. from the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and went on to work in real estate finance and investment in New York and Charleston, S.C. 1 I !Y£e.Y~~A~.!%i~ LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Andre Bauer is currently the nation's youngest lieutenant governor. Bauer was born in Charleston on March 20, 1969. The son of William R. Bauer and Jill Saundrea Bauer, Andre is a graduate of Irma High School and the University of South Carolina. During his college career, Andre was recognized as Mr. USC in 1989 and was a charter member of TKE Fraternity. While in college, Andre began a small sports souvenir business that he built into one of the southeast's largest wholesalers and distributors of collegiate sporting merchandise. Recently, he sold his wholesale distributorship and began working in real estate and investments. Elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1996, Bauer gained a reputation for hard work and tireless constituent service. In 1998, he was re­ elected with the largest vote total in the state. While serving in the House of Representatives, he was elected Secretary/Treasurer of the Freshman Caucus and elected 2nd Vice Chairman of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee in 1997. In 1998, Bauer was elected 1st Vice Chairman. In 1999, Andre Bauer was elected to the South Carolina State Senate. He was overwhelmingly re-elected in the 2000 general election. Upon being elected to the Senate, he sold his wholesale business to devote full time to public service. He served in the Senate until January 14, 2003. As Lieutenant Governor, he was appointed by Governor Mark Sanford to serve on the Governor's Commission for Management, Accountability and Performance (MAP), which was charged with looking for waste and inefficiency in state government. Additionally, Bauer was elected by lieutenant governors from across the nation to serve on the executive committee of the National Lieutenant Governor's Association (NLGA) and he also chairs the RLGA. Andre Bauer was inaugurated as South Carolina's 84th Lieutenant Governor on January 15, 2003.
