Career
Born in Anderson County in 1967, Kevin L.
Bryant graduated from T.L. Hanna High School in 1985, and later
graduated from the University of
Georgia with a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy. Since then
Bryant has managed, with his brother and father, Bryant Pharmacy &
Supply, an independent pharmacy located in Anderson. Working
together, the Bryant family has upheld the “old corner drug store”
image while Bryant Pharmacy & Supply has diversified and
developed into a highly skilled pharmacy as well as a provider of
oxygen, medical equipment, and diagnostic supplies.
Political
Bryant is the former chairman of the Anderson County Republican Party
(ACRP), a position he successfully served in for four years. In
February 2000, the ACRP turned out 27,000 Republican voters in the
Presidential Primary, tripling the 9,000 voters in 1996! This
incredible task was performed by hundreds of volunteer Republican poll
workers. Another indicator of Bryant’s leadership was his being
elected to represent S.C. at the Republican National Convention in
Philadelphia in 2000. Later that year, the influence of the ACRP
resulted in the election of Republicans in 17 of 23 offices on the
ballot. In 2002, all incumbent Republicans in Anderson County were
re-elected. The Anderson County Republican Party recognizes and
appreciates Kevin Bryant’s participation and leadership. In 2004,
Bryant was awarded the prestigious Circle Award by President George W.
Bush.
Legislature
In 2004, Bryant received 64% of the vote to serve in the S.C. Senate
District 3. Currently, Kevin serves on the following committees:
Finance
Labor, Commerce & Industry
Agriculture
Medical Affairs
General
He has been a constant voice for
limited government, lower taxes, and supporting traditional family
values. Bryant is committed to providing superior constituent service
as liaison between Anderson County citizens and the variety of
government agencies.
