Meet Kenny
Legislature
Having represented District 89 for nearly a decade, Kenny Bingham has emerged as one of the rising stars of the S.C. Republican Party thanks to his tireless work ethic, leadership skills and commitment to fiscal and social conservative values.
A member of the powerful House Ways & Means committee – which is responsible for drafting the state spending plan – Kenny has been a consistent voice for tax relief and responsible spending since earning this coveted position after four years on the House Labor, Commerce & Industry Committee.
For his commitment to lower taxes and less spending, Kenny has been honored by Gov. Mark Sanford as a “Taxpayer Hero” (2004) and by the S.C. Association of Taxpayers as a “Friend of the Taxpayer” (2005). He has also consistently earned high marks from pro-business groups, and in July 2003 was named “National Legislator of the Year” by the National Republican Legislators Association.
