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.
