American Flood Coalition Recognizes Representative William Timmons as a Federal Champion
As South Carolina faces stronger storms and more frequent flooding, Rep. Timmons commits to leading on flood solutions.
WASHINGTON, DC — February 13, 2025 — The American Flood Coalition (AFC) today recognized Representative William Timmons (SC) as a Federal Champion for his leadership, public service, and commitment to finding solutions to challenges posed by flooding.
“The Upstate is no stranger to flooding. Through my time as a business owner and now Congressman, I have seen the effects flooding has on the lives and livelihoods of South Carolinians,” said Rep. Timmons. “I’m committed to advancing common sense solutions to prevent flooding from being so destructive and to ensure investments help communities become more resilient.”
Rep. Timmons joins 51 bipartisan AFC Federal Champions, those members of Congress dedicated to advancing solutions to stronger storms and more frequent flooding. Rep. Timmons is the fourth Federal Champion from the Palmetto State, joining Sen. Tim Scott, Rep. Russell Fry, and Rep. Nancy Mace.
“Representative Timmons knows firsthand how flooding affects communities and has consistently supported those devastated by storms and other disasters,” said Melissa Roberts, Executive Director of the American Flood Coalition. “We look forward to working with him and supporting him as he advances policies to build resilience across South Carolina and beyond.”
South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District is in the Upstate and borders North Carolina. It includes parts of Greenville and Spartanburg counties, including the two cities of those respective names.
In the 119th Congress, Rep. Timmons serves on the House Committees on Financial Services and Oversight and Government Reform.
