Early years and family

South Carolina House of Representatives
On June 8, 2004, Ballentine defeated the 16-year incumbent, Rick Quinn, who served as the House Majority Leader.[citation needed]
Ballentine was elected Vice Chairman of the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs committee during his freshman year (2005). He focussed on healthcare in his first two years. Following re-election (2007–2008) he worked on fiscal issues.[citation needed]
During 2009 and 2010, Ballentine was the chief cosponsor, with then-Representative Nikki Haley, pushing for more accountability with On-The-Record Voting.[citation needed] That bill ultimately died in the Senate; but not before the House made a rule change and passed the bill with no dissenting votes. In 2011 Ballentine became lead sponsor for the On-The-Record Voting Bill.
In the 2010 session, Balllentine's Campaign Finance Disclosure Bill became law. The bill requires every elected official (from school board, to county office holders, etc.) to file their campaign disclosure report on-line.
During his career in the South Carolina General Assembly, Ballentine has served on the Education and Public Works Committee, the House Ethics Committee, the Joint Transportation Review Screening Committee, and has been named a Friend of the Taxpayer and Taxpayer Hero every year he has served in Columbia.[citation needed]
Ballentine is the Chairman of the Regulations Subcommittee in the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee.
Ballentine does not keep his State House salary, donating it to community groups and organizations.[citation needed]
