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.

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
- Other Funds Oversight
- Labor, Commerce & Industry (sub-committee chair)
- Agriculture (sub-committee chair)
- 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.

I remember Senator Kevin Bryant when I went to Wisconsin. The Roidts family brought me along to Camp Hope in Georgia. I did not know that he was one of the Senators in South Carolina. I though he was just an ordinary citizen. He was very humble though. American people are used to address the name of person unlike in the Philippines that we have to address Sir and Ma’am no matter what their standing in life. My momentum is working! 2007 of July!

Senator Bryant,
Virginia just this week passed a nullification bill (senate 37-1)in regards to the unconstitutional NADD act. Why can’t we do something like this instead of focusing on something as useless as trying to make mention of veterans on drivers license as well as a bevy of other time consuming, revenue exhausting legislation.
