SC-04: Spartanburg County party chair challenges GOP Rep. Timmons for Upstate seat
SPARTANBURG — Kathryn Harvey thought that someone should run against Republican U.S. Rep. William Timmons this year.
From her role as the chair of the Spartanburg County Democratic Party she saw Timmons, who represents the Upstate 4th Congressional District, as unusually vulnerable.
In 2022, an alleged affair and his now-ex-wife’s divorce filing became a very public scandal. And in Harvey’s view, he was not very present in the community.
