Williams is the former president of North Georgia Bank. He has also served on the Oconee County Industrial Authority, the UGA Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Advisory Council, the Georgia Forestry Commission Board of Directors, and the Watkinsville City Council. In addition, Williams has worked with FFA and the Rotary Club. He is married to his wife, Beth.[2]
Campaign themes
Williams' campaign site details his campaign themes:
- "I do not believe that government can be all things to all people. State government cannot effectively deal with every issue faced by Georgians. State government should play a supporting role to the private sector, as job growth and economic prosperity will primarily come from private investment, not public investment. My service will be guided by the Oath of Office I will take: to uphold the Constitution of Georgia and of the United States. Beyond that, representing the interests of residents of the 113th and being a responsible steward of the State's resources will be my guide."
