Ken Ard Biography

Ken Ard is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 18, 1963 in Pamplico, Pamplico, United States. James Kenneth “Ken” Ard (born December 18, 1963) was the 88th Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, having served January 12, 2011 to March 9, 2012.

South Carolina’s previous lieutenant governor, Andre Bauer, ran for governor in 2010, leaving an open race for lieutenant governor. Ard finished first against three other candidates in the Republican primary and ultimately emerged victorious as the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor.

Following the Ethics Commission investigation, a state grand jury indicted Ard on “seven counts of ethics violations over his mishandling of money during that 2010 race, including converting campaign funds for tickets to the SEC championship football game in Atlanta, buying clothes and a flat-screen TV and having a confidant dole out $100 bills from a paper bag.” On March 10, 2012, Ard was indicted, pleaded guilty, resigned from office, and sentenced all on the same day, an arrangement worked out by the Attorney General’s Office, South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division, and Ard’s team of five criminal defense lawyers. Circuit Court Judge G. Thomas Cooper Jr. sentenced Ard to five years of probation, a $5,000 fine and 300 hours of community service.

Ard was a rising star within the South Carolina Republican Party before ethics investigations caused his political career to collapse. In 2012, the State Ethics Commission charged him with 69 counts of using campaign money for personal use and 23 counts of failing to disclose campaign expenses during the 2010 election for lieutenant governor. In June 2012, Ard settled the civil ethics charges relating to the 2010 campaign by paying a $48,400 civil penalty for 106 ethics violations and reimbursing his campaign slightly over $12,000.

He was elected chairman of the Florence County Republican Party in 2009.
