"Campaigns in this modern day are expensive. I know it is going to take a lot of resources to make sure my message of economic development, government efficiency, and protection for seniors is heard from one end of South Carolina to another," said Florence County Councilman and candidate for lieutenant governor Ken Ard as he announced his committee.
Ard continued, "The members of my finance team represent major financial supporters of each of the major Republican candidates for Governor and are many of South Carolina's chief business leaders. I am confident with our conservative message, the resources this team can help me gather and a lot of hard work on my part, our campaign for lieutenant governor will be successful.”
Ard resides in Florence County with his wife of more than 20 years, Tammy, and their three children. As an accomplished businessman, Ard understands that small business is the lifeblood of our economy. Ard serves on the Florence County Council and attends Southside Baptist Church in Florence.
