Greenville Leader

Congressman William Timmons, representing South Carolina’s 4th District since 2019, recently shared his perspectives and updates on several critical issues via Twitter. Timmons addressed international challenges, local evacuation orders, and cybersecurity concerns.

On March 31, 2025, Timmons commented on U.S. foreign policy, specifically regarding the consequences faced by adversaries who threaten American interests. He stated: "The Houthis learned the hard way: attack U.S. interests, face annihilation. This is not just about missiles; it’s about restoring respect for American power after years of appeasement."

Later that day, Timmons provided an update on evacuation orders in light of a fire affecting the local area. He noted that while mandatory evacuations in Greenville County were now voluntary, all evacuation advisories in both Pickens and Greenville Counties had been lifted. He emphasized continued caution due to the fire's unpredictable nature, stating: "Updated Evacuation Orders: • Mandatory evacuations in Greenville County have been downgraded to voluntary evacuations. • Voluntary evacuations in both Pickens and Greenville Counties have been lifted. Due to the ongoing threat and unpredictable nature of the fire, please https://t.co/aLG8m63Jql"

On April 1, 2025, Timmons announced his role in chairing a congressional hearing addressing state-sponsored cyber attacks on U.S. infrastructure. He expressed the importance of exposing and countering these threats, asserting: "Tomorrow, I am chairing a hearing to confront state-sponsored cyber attacks on U.S. infrastructure. It is time to expose the threats and fight back. @GOPoversight https://t.co/oTwevhW9SH"
