He was the son of W. Brantley Harvey Sr. (1893–1981),[1] a lawyer in Beaufort, South Carolina, and former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives and the South Carolina State Senate.[2] Harvey attended The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, and afterward served in the United States Army. He received a law degree from the University of South Carolina, and was admitted to the bar in 1955. He then joined his father's law firm, Harvey & Battey.[3] He was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1958, and served until 1975, when he was installed as Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina. He served in that position until 1979. Harvey later served on the South Carolina Commission of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, as well as the South Carolina Department of Transportation.[4]
