Barry Wynn is the CEO of South Colonial Group, Inc., which markets private trusts and investment advice to companies and executives in the Southeast’s shrinking textile industry. As the outgoing chair of the South Carolina Republican Party in 1993, Wynn urged fellow big donors to consider withholding money from the state party because the Christian Right’s influence was making it “intolerant, un-American and un-Republican.” Wynn was the state finance chair of the first President Bush’s failed 1992 reelection campaign; then-Senator John Ashcroft consulted Wynn about whether or not to he should seek the GOP’s presidential nomination in 2000. Wynn also has been finance chair of the recent campaigns of Congressman Jim DeMint. DeMint, Wynn and several South Carolina textile executives landed a 2001 meeting to discuss foreign textile competition with two of President Bush’s cabinet-level officials: Pioneer Commerce Secretary Donald Evans and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick.
