Prior to being elected governor, Mark Sanford served in the U.S. Congress for six years, before voluntarily stepping down to honor a personal commitment to limit his time in Washington, D.C. In Washington, Mark was an advocate for the taxpayer. He was ranked #1 in the U.S. Congress in 1995, 1996 and 1997 by Citizens Against Government Waste for his efforts to limit government growth.

Sanford received a B.A. in Business from Furman University. He later received an MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, and went on to work in real estate finance and investment.
