MIKE BURKHOLD LAUNCHES NEW LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

(Charleston, SC) - Today Mike Burkhold, Republican candidate for Comptroller General, announced the formation of the Comptroller General’s Leadership Council - a group of respected business leaders who share his vision for a modern, disciplined, and transparent financial system for South Carolina. These men have built companies, managed complex operations, and understand the value of accurate numbers and clear reporting. Their support reflects deep support in the business community for Mike’s vision and growing momentum behind Mike’s plan to rebuild the Comptroller General’s office into a true financial management partner for the General Assembly.

 

The council will help guide efforts to deliver fast and accurate budget performance, strengthen controls, and build systems that protect every tax dollar. The members bring deep experience in finance, operations, and organizational turnaround. They know the state cannot run a $40 billion dollar budget with outdated systems and thin staffing. They also know that strong financial management unlocks room for bold reforms that serve citizens.“I am grateful for the support of these leaders. They believe in this mission and share my commitment to build a Comptroller General’s office that gives citizens confidence, gives lawmakers clarity, and sets a new standard for financial management in South Carolina," said Mike Burkhold.
