Tim Burns (born April 14, 1968) is a Pennsylvania businessman. He ran as a Republican in the 2010 special election to represent Western Pennsylvania's 12th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Burns won the party nomination but lost the November general election to Democratic incumbent Mark Critz. From mid-October 2011 until ending his campaign in early February 2012, Burns was a candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senate to challenge incumbent Senator Bob Casey, Jr. in the 2012 election.
Burns was born in Morgantown, West Virginia; his family later moved to Johnstown, Pennsylvania where he grew up in the Hornerstown section of the city. He graduated from Greater Johnstown High School in 1986. In 1990, Burns obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Indiana, Pennsylvania.
In 1992, Burns co-founded TechRx, a pharmaceutical technology company that was started in the basement of his house. The company created prescription-automation software for pharmacies that improved the process of filling prescriptions with greater accuracy. The company eventually grew to over 400 employees before it was sold in 2003 to the Atlanta company NDCHealth Corporation.
Timothy J. "Tim" Burns (born 1973) was a Democratic Oakland County Commissioner for the 19th District, which covers parts of Clawson and Troy.
Burns is a graduate of Bradley University and the University of Detroit Law School. He is married to his wife, Barbra, and resides in Clawson, where he has been very involved in his community. He is the President of the Troy Community Coalition for the Prevention of Alcohol & Drug Abuse, and also is a member of the Board of Directors for the Clawson Chamber of Commerce and the Clawson Community Credit Union. Burns is also a member of the Troy Jaycees and the Vice President of the Clawson-Troy Optimist Club.
In 2006, Burns was elected to the County Commission, defeating Republican former Troy Mayor Matt Pryor. This was considered an upset victory, as this is traditionally a Republican seat. Burns, however, benefited from a large ground campaign and the endorsement of former Troy Mayor Jeanne Stine, a Republican.
