Project Conflict Watch

South Carolina is the only state in the nation that doesn’t require its politicians to disclose any private income. The public consequently has no way of knowing who benefits financially from specific legislation.

So – we decided to do something about it. Rather than waiting for lawmakers to pass an income disclosure requirement, we’ve asked them (along with the state’s constitutional officers) to disclose their income voluntarily. The form SCPC sent to lawmakers is almost identical to the one required by the federal government before one can hold office in the U.S. Congress – we think our state’s elected officials ought to be at least as forthcoming as their counterparts in Washington DC.

The table below identifies all lawmakers and constitutional officers in the South Carolina State House. Some will disclose their incomes quickly; others will take some persuading. Our goal is to get each one to identify every source of income.

But we can’t do it alone. Here’s what you can do to be a part of this initiative:

  1. Download the form here.
  2. Get in touch with your elected officials. Call them. E-mail them the form. Go to their State House offices and drop it off … let them know you want them to disclose all of their income sources!
  3. If you use the form included in the database below, please be sure to fill out the appropriate elected official’s name, and include your name and (optional) address at the end of the preset e-mail.
  4. After you’ve called, e-mailed, asked a few dozen times, and they’ve returned the form to you, e-mail it to Emily Gould at

    em***@sc*************.org











    , or mail it to us 1323 Pendleton Street, Columbia, SC 29201.
  5. We want to hear your stories! Did your representative or senator respond immediately? Did you have to call 200 times only to be stonewalled by an assistant? Let us know! Call Emily Gould at (803) 779-5022 extension 117, e-mail Emily at the address above.
