Jarrod Ownbey, of Mullins Law Firm, P.A., has officially announced his candidacy for the South Carolina House of Representatives District 108 seat currently held by Rep. Kevin Ryan (R). Ownbey will run as a Democrat for the District that covers a portion of Georgetown and Charleston Counties.

Mr. Ownbey, along with Randall K. Mullins, represents approximately 60 depositors in the Bahama Island Resort and Marina cases currently pending in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Common Pleas. Ownbey has been a member of the South Carolina Bar Association for almost 5 years and is additionally licensed to practice in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

“I hope to build upon the progress made by former Rep. Vida Miller (D). I have to first commend her on her service and dedication to the people of this District,” Ownbey said. “It is imperative that we return to that level of leadership in order to improve the lives of the people of District 108; and in doing so, we need to first focus on creating and sustaining jobs and giving our educators the tools necessary to provide our youth with a competitive education.”

Mr. Ownbey, 32, resides in Pawleys Island with his wife Stacy and their three daughters.
