March 30, 2026
As the 2026 primary season gains momentum in the Upstate, Republican congressional challenger David Atchley is set to host a community meet and greet in the heart of Mauldin’s newest landmark. The event will take place on Sunday, April 19, at Bridgeway Brewing Co., located within the Italian-inspired Bridgeway Station.
Atchley, a Greenville-based businessman and fundraising consultant, is currently campaigning for South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District seat. This afternoon session is designed as an informal “listening tour” stop, allowing residents of Mauldin, Simpsonville, and Fountain Inn to engage directly with the candidate ahead of the June 9 primary.

A Campaign Focused on Local Presence Since launching his bid for Congress in February, Atchley has emphasized a platform built on accessibility and consistent local presence. Choosing Bridgeway Station—a major hub of recent economic development in Mauldin—reflects the campaign’s focus on the rapid growth and changing needs of the Golden Strip.
The district needs a representative who is as invested in our local neighborhoods as they are in the halls of Congress, Atchley noted during a recent stop in the Upstate. Showing up in the community is the first step toward effective representation.
Key Issues for Discussion Voters attending the Sunday event can expect to hear Atchley address several core pillars of his platform, including:
-
Economic Stability: Navigating the rising cost of living and supporting the small businesses that drive the local economy.
-
Infrastructure and Growth: Addressing the challenges that come with the Upstate’s population boom, particularly regarding transportation and regional planning.
-
Fiscal Responsibility: Drawing on his professional background in development to provide a fresh perspective on federal spending.
The Race for the 4th District The 4th Congressional District race is drawing significant attention this cycle as Atchley challenges incumbent William Timmons. While facing a well-funded opponent, Atchley is leaning into a grassroots strategy, prioritizing small-group interactions and town-hall-style meetings like the one scheduled at Bridgeway Brewing.
The venue, known for its “Train Station” aesthetic and community-focused atmosphere, provides a relaxed backdrop for what organizers hope will be a robust dialogue between the candidate and his potential constituents. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure seating and prepare questions for the Q&A portion of the afternoon.
