A lifelong resident of the 149th District, William is a 2015 graduate of Upper Merion High School. A former Boy Scout, he achieved Eagle Scout distinction at 14, making him the youngest in his troop to have done so. After high school, he performed missionary work as part of Youth with a Mission. His experiences therein have made human rights issues forever dear to his heart, particularly regarding the need to end sex trafficking in our region. Currently a freelance video production and web designer, he attends the Lansdale School of Business. He lives in King of Prussia, is an active political volunteer, and is a dedicated member of Conshohocken Vineyard Church.

Educating Our Kids-William is dedicated to reopening our schools so all children who need in-person instruction don't risk falling behind. A graduate of public schools, Williams is committed to ensuring they are properly funded and that their curriculum prepares students for the economy of the future with excellent STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) instruction. He also favors expansion of the Education Improvement Tax Credit and other vehicles for school choice for families who need it.

Public Safety- William will resist the reckless calls by the left to "defund" our police and will always fight to ensure Pennsylvania State Police receive optimal resources from Harrisburg. He will support effective anti-opioid addiction programs and oppose any so-called "safe injection sites" in Pennsylvania. William furthermore will back increased funding for security personnel in our schools.

Rebuilding the Economy- State executive orders are still forcing too many small businesses to shutter or curtail operations, compromising the livelihoods-and therefore the lives-of too many Pennsylvanians. William will work to safely complete our state's economic reopening. He will also back reforms to limit the regulatory and tax burdens on our families and job creators. This would include amending the PA Constitution that would limit the growth of state spending to the rate of inflation plus population growth over a three-year timespan.
