I am confident our government can do better. From managing our tax dollars more effectively to better representing small business interests and upholding family values, I believe I can make a positive difference. With your support, I'll take our values to our State Government. - Ryan Williams

WHO IS RYAN WILLIAMS?
Ryan Williams is a successful businessman and member of the Cookeville City Council. He is currently the director of business development for J&S Construction Company. His responsibilities include managing the design, estimating and contract writing of proposals for his prospective clients. Ryan and Abby have two children: Tyson, 8, and Carson, 6. Ryan serves as a Sunday school teacher at Church on the Hill and also coaches youth soccer.

WHERE & WHY IS RYAN RUNNING?
Ryan Williams is running for State Representative in House District 42 because he believes our government can do better. We can do better at representing our small-town values. We can do better at managing our tax dollars. We can do better at finding solutions instead of pointing fingers. That's why Ryan wants to bring forward-thinking leadership to our state government as our next State Representative for District 42 which is comprised of the majority of Putnam County. Ryan is challenging incumbent Democrat Henry Fincher, a Harvard lawyer, whose campaign is backed by the same Big Labor bosses who helped Barack Obama capture the White House and Nancy Pelosi become Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"The time for politics as usual is over. There are real challenges that our communities, our state and our country need to face. Yet many in our state capital are content with grandstanding and playing the blame game. We need to create jobs that will stimulate our economy, we need responsible fiscal management to stop wasteful spending, and we need leadership that will provide solutions instead of serve political agendas."

WHAT WILL RYAN DO FOR YOU IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE?
Ryan's vision for Tennessee is built on integrity and values. As a Cookeville City Councilman, Ryan worked tirelessly with elected officials, city leaders, and citizens to provide solutions to the city's challenges. From economic development, education, public safety, quality of life, or balancing the budget, Ryan has consistently led Cookeville forward. And now he's seeking your support in taking that same leadership to Nashville as our State Representative.
