William Timmons entered Congress in 2019 with a commitment to bring real reform to Washington. His experience as a prosecutor and small business owner inspired him to run for public office. As a state senator, he fought for accountability and transparency in Columbia. In Congress, William is a voice for Upstate residents and South Carolina’s business community as a member of the Financial Services Committee. In addition to his role on the committee, William was chosen by the Republican Leader to serve as Vice Chair of the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress and elected by his classmates to represent them on the Republican Steering Committee. William is a lifelong member of Christ Church in Greenville and also serves as a JAG Officer and Captain in the South Carolina Air National Guard. He and his wife, Sarah, live in Greenville.
Washington is broken. I came to Congress to hold the federal government accountable to the people. Our national debt and deficit are skyrocketing with little concern for the burden we are imposing on our children and grandchildren. I believe one of the ways to make the federal government more efficient is to impose term limits, and I have sponsored legislation to impose a limit of six terms for members of the House of Representatives and two terms for Senators. I want less government in our lives and more power with the people.
I proudly serve on the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress, a truly bipartisan committee working to make Congress more effective, efficient, and transparent. Through bipartisan collaboration, we have passed and implemented recommendations that work to increase efficiency in Congress, improve orientation and education for new members, and increase accessibility for all to the Legislative Branch.
