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.
There are approximately 35,000 veterans living in the Upstate, and we owe a tremendous debt to them and other veterans across the nation. As members of Congress, it is important to serve those who have served us. It is crucial to hold the VA accountable to their mission and fulfill President Lincoln's promise: "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.”
I have been and will continue to support legislation and policies that ensure our nation's veterans receive the best possible care they deserve in a timely manner. We have an obligation to fulfill the promises made to those who have served, both on and off the battlefield. These veterans risked their lives serving our country, and now it is our turn to serve them.
