New candidate Robert E. Lee files to challenge Rep. Timmons in GOP primary
GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - U.S. Rep. William Timmons will face a second challenger in the GOP primary after a new candidate filed on Wednesday.
Robert E. Lee filed to run for the U.S. House seat representing South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District.
According to his website, Lee is a mechanical engineer who has worked in the Upstate for 15 years.
“Let’s complete the MAGA promises that got Trump elected,” Lee said on his website. “I will work for the Upstate to drain the swamp, stop the wars and bring back the prosperity of Trump’s first term. I’m running to continue the promise to Make America Great Again. As your congressman, I will help members like Rep. Thomas Massie and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene push forward an America First agenda that puts Americans first.”
Businessman David Atchley is also running against Timmons who is running for a fifth term in office. Timmons has also been endorsed by President Donald Trump.
Courtney McClain is the only Democrat to file so far, and Jessica Ethridge has filed as a Libertarian.
