Summary

  • William Timmons won the Republican primary in South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District, defeating David Atchley and Robert E. Lee to move closer to a fifth term.
  • Timmons centered his campaign on incumbency, arguing his experience in Congress and work on government oversight and economic growth made him the strongest choice for Republican voters.
  • Atchley, a businessman and consultant, and Lee, a mechanical engineer, tried to present themselves as alternatives to the incumbent but failed to unseat him.
  • November is expected to favor Timmons in one of South Carolina’s most reliably Republican districts, making the primary victory the key hurdle in his reelection bid.
