Candidates Part II – Campaign Finance Disclosures

Published

on

Yesterday we talked about the (1) A Statement of Economic Interest (SEI) … and today we will introduce you to the (2) Campaign Finance Disclosures. (Initial, quarterly, pre-election & final.)

Read yesterday’s SEI “Part I” article HERE.

Both of these candidate / campaign filings must be entered online with the SC State Ethics … and although it is relatively simple … you want to do it right … so LEARN IT, enjoy and relax!!!

[NOTE – STATE & LOCAL ONLY: It may be self evident, but these SC State Ethics Commission compliance matters are only for state & local positions. For our federal officials (US House & Senate) … that is a totally different system with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Read more HERE]


Campaign Finance Disclosures:

Like the SEI which seeks to disclose a candidate / elected officials personal “economic” or financial interest … the Campaign Finance Disclosure purpose is as simply stated, to disclose the donations and expenditures of a candidates campaign account.

These reports simply detail the donations, expenditures, any loans your campaign might receive … just the basic data. They can be a pain and the system can be a little clunky / quirky … you can assign this task out to your “Campaign Finance Committee” … but realize YOU are ultimately responsible, so make sure it is done right.

Again, don’t let these Campaign Finance Disclosures scare you off from running for office. #WeNeedYOU

[NOTE – CAMPAIGN BANK ACCOUNT: Know that if you intend to spend any money, and you should expect to spend some, you will have to open a campaign bank account … and NO, you can not used your personal checking account!!! Setting up a campaign account is a relatively simple thing to do and we will add an article about that as well … but for the time being know you will need one.]

Campaign Finance Reports:

Now this is where you can find some interesting financial stuff.  There is still LOTS of ways our elected officials get around reporting the MONEY … but you can find some things in these campaign finance disclosures that are of interest.  

Go ahead … search online for your favorite politician’s finance reports … see who their donors are and how they spend their donations.  If you find anything interesting, send it to us at team@mySCGOP.com.

Veterans Day 2025

& Poland Independence Day!

Published

on

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with holidays in several countries, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which also occur on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while the older Memorial Day, which grew out of Civil War commemorations, specifically honors those who have died while in military service. Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military.

BONUS CONTENT – POLAND INDEPENDENCE DAY: Independence Day (Polish: Narodowe Święto Niepodległości) is a national day in Poland celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Following the partitions in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist for 123 years until the end of World War I, when the destruction of the neighboring powers allowed the country to reemerge. It is a non-working day and a flag flying day in Poland.
