Taking a Stand: An Interview with Governor Mark Sanford
by Ray Nothstine

Editor's Note: Published in the summer of 2008, this interview took place long before the Sanford scandal was brought to light. For the Acton Institute's followup statement in light of the scandal, please click here.

Mark Sanford was elected South Carolina’s governor in 2002 and won a second term in 2006, becoming only the third two-term governor in modern state history. In 2008, Gov ernor Sanford was also named chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

Prior to his election as governor in 2002, Governor Sanford served six years in the U.S. House. For his consistent efforts to lower taxes and limit government growth, he was ranked number one in the entire Congress by Citizens Against Government Waste. He was rated similarly by the National Taxpayers’ Union, and Taxpayers for Common Sense inducted him into the Taxpayers Hall of Fame. Governor Sanford holds a BA degree from Furman University, and a MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. He also worked at the New York office of Goldman Sachs.

As a governor, he has gained national attention for his principled opposition to bailouts and stimulus legislation coming out of Washington. He recently spoke with R&L managing editor Ray Nothstine.
