PAWLEYS ISLAND-- Kevin Ryan, Republican candidate for State House District 108, has posted all of his campaign's financial information online at ryanforhouse.com in an effort to provide complete financial transparency. The campaign has pledged to post records of all contributions and expenditures online within 24-hours of receiving or expending the funds.

"I call on my opponent, Vida Miller, to join me in providing the same transparency of campaign finances during this election cycle," said Ryan. "The people of District 108 deserve to see who contributes to our campaigns and how we spend those funds on a real-time basis, not just once per quarter as required by state ethics laws."

In addition to providing this real-time financial reporting, Ryan has agreed to post the names of all campaign contributors, even those who contribute less than $100. State law requires that campaigns record the name and address of these contributors, but not report their names on quarterly campaign disclosure reports.

If elected, Ryan plans to introduce legislation which would require real-time reporting of campaign financial information for all candidates.

Kevin Ryan is the Republican candidate for S.C. State House District 108. He faces fourteen-year incumbent Democrat Vida Miller in the November general election.
