Timmons' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[9]

Ethics Reform

Excerpt: "As a former prosecutor I see the state of ethics in our State as deplorable. Currently South Carolina legislators do not fall under the same ethics governance as other elected officials. We must do better."

Term Limits

Excerpt: "We need citizen legislators whose main job is to do the work of the people, foster the prosperity of our State, maintain law and order for our citizens and then go home after twelve years."

Economic Growth

Excerpt: "We need comprehensive State tax reform, we need strong economic development, and friendly lawmakers willing to stand by our business community. We need Senators willing to get the job done."

Right to Life

Excerpt: "The sanctity of life from conception to old age must be respected and protected. I am a Christian and it is one of my most closely held beliefs that life is a gift from God. I am firmly opposed to abortion."
